I am totally amazed sometimes that any author can come up with a new or exciting title! Just walking around Chapters or any bookstore for that matter and seeing the thousands and thousands of books it hard to think that anyone can come up with something new, original or just appropriate for their book!!
There are many, many important things that need to be researched, brainstormed and covered in this big process called "publishing a book" and every single thing is just as important as the other. Whether it's finding something new and different to write about, getting your book professionally edited, someone to design your book cover, etc. etc. it's a process that takes a great deal of time but done properly can be the difference between success and failure, and the right "book title" is very high on this list.
So, how do you find the right "book title" for your masterpiece? As we tell most people who come to us at Ink Tree Ltd.,(and we cover in our "Ultimate Book Marketing Kit") it's always good to find something even just a little bit different than has been covered before, one of the things we recommend at Ink Tree Ltd. is go and spend time in the bookstores, check out all the sections, see what other authors are coming up with and especially spend a lot of time in the section where "your book" will be placed. Think outside the box and find a hook, something newsworthy, a play on words, humorous, google Amazon and see what other titles are out there in your genre, but you definitely need something eye catching!
Like I said, when you walk around a bookstore and see the thousands of books out there, it's so important to get the attention of the consumer and make them want to pick up your book, check out the content and walk over to the cash register and take your book home. The competition is fierce...it's a jungle out there and we call it a "bookstore"!!!!
