#PublishABook6-BookTitles

We talked about the importance of the cover in the last blog, and important it is. You want hands to reach out for your book on the shelf. 

The title is so very important. So many authors think that the title should spell out the message like the thesis for a doctorial degree. Boring!

Think of some good book titles:

One Smart Cookie
The Wealthy Barber
Rich Dad, Poor Dad
Gone with the Wind
The Secret
Fit to Cook
Fire 'n Ice


Good titles suggest the book's contents but use intrigue to pique curiosity. You don't have to do a synopsis of the book on the front cover. Give a good clue to the book's contents but don't use the cover to give the entire message. 

The title catches the reader's interest - the subtitle provides a bit more into. Go to book stores and do your research. Find attractive book covers, search for good titles and read subtitles. You don't have to re-invent the wheel. Just make your book cover better.
