I agree, titling ...Those are all such great titles! I agree, titling is super-difficult. <BR/>A friend of mine has a great book: Cornelia and the Audacious Escapades of the Somerset Sisters. It's a mouthful, but it really tells you what you're in for. It doesn't hurt that there's a French bulldog on the cover as well. <BR/><BR/>I also love Devilish.

Who can't pick up a book with that title?<BR/><BR/>Titles are hard, but THE SALEM WITCH TRYOUTS actually came into my head before I wrote the book and I was lucky to keep the title. Others have had to be batted back and forth between me, my editor and anyone I could get to play "let's find a good title" with me.<BR/><BR/>KellyKelly McClymerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038223302234193266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27552471.post-23237850999430579212008-05-30T12:56:00.000-07:002008-05-30T12:56:00.000-07:00Thanks P.J. and Aimee!

Most of my books have gone through several title iterations. My original title for THE YEAR MY SISTER GOT LUCKY was THE SECRETS OF THE WILDER SISTERS. I think my editor was brilliant in suggesting the title we ended up going with. <BR/><BR/>I like the story that Stephenie Meyer's original title for TWILIGHT was FORKS. The book might have been received in a very different way with that as its title! Thank goodness for editors sometimes, is all I have to say...<BR/><BR/>My newest book, the one I am working hard on now, has just been blessed with a title: SEA CHANGE. It's a love story set on a mysterious island, so I feel the title suits it well and I'm excited about it. <BR/><BR/>Great post. P.J. And good luck picking the best title, Jenn!Aimee Friedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08576401529069800605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27552471.post-51966552502515216502008-05-28T21:31:00.000-07:002008-05-28T21:31:00.000-07:00SO been there, Jenn.

Along those lines, I'm really looking forward to the July release of I WANNA BE YOUR JOEY RAMONE by Stephanie Kuehnert. I've been trying to think of a title that cool for my book coming out with MTV Books next March. At first I called it BOY IN BLUE; my editor didn't like that title, and we settled on RUNNING TO STAND STILL; at the moment it's called THE GHOST OF YOU. I wouldn't be surprised if we changed it again.Jennifer Echolshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15757825467796917325noreply@blogger.com
