I learned early on that we don't get to keep our desired titles. <BR/><BR/>However, I do choose a title for every work it is easier to keep everything straight in my head that way. <BR/>Although, I can't think of a title for my romance so it is stored on my computer as romance 1, real origional huh? <BR/><BR/>MichelleMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989571972812562642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113459088262891680.post-48601993775932180142008-04-24T14:42:00.000-06:002008-04-24T14:42:00.000-06:00Stephanie, that's funny your husband makes a list....Stephanie, that's funny your husband makes a list.<BR/><BR/>Josi, I hope you'll be able to keep HER GOOD NAME!Heather Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11634399663804195312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113459088262891680.post-278205338367674062008-04-24T08:40:00.000-06:002008-04-24T08:40:00.000-06:00I've worked with two publishers, one let me pick t...I've worked with two publishers, one let me pick the titles and the other one has done the picking for me. I thought I would hate losing control of the title part, but it hasn't really bugged me. The titles they've come up with have been a lot better than the one I had in mind. However, my next book will keep the working title--let's cross our fingers it's as good as the other ones.Josihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10615874450489497826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113459088262891680.post-85692885655872283982008-04-23T21:39:00.000-06:002008-04-23T21:39:00.000-06:00My first book was published under the title I'd gi...My first book was published under the title I'd given it.

Once I used a one word working title, then when I submitted the manuscript came up with something fancier, then you guessed it, the marketing people came up with the same one word title I'd used for a working title. Titles aren't worth losing sleep over.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15623353613539928215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113459088262891680.post-18174267694805094812008-04-23T10:39:00.000-06:002008-04-23T10:39:00.000-06:00I like this, it's a good reminder not to be a worr...I like this, it's a good reminder not to be a worry-wart over the title.

I did finally come up with a good title for my next book coming out, but it's too late, the marketing department already came up with one they are likely using (though they haven't told me what it is yet) and it is highly unlikely they'd pick anything I want anyway. You're right. I am a writer, not a marketer. I say let them figure it out, and good riddance to one more thing to obsess over.Julie Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15311231654035295596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113459088262891680.post-10382986342056963092008-04-22T22:05:00.000-06:002008-04-22T22:05:00.000-06:00I'm terrible at titles.

I let my husband pick a whole list, then have a good laugh at what he comes up with and try to find something passable on my own.Stephanie Humphreyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553998075443712084noreply@blogger.com
