What will influence your final choice. I am on my fourth title. Titles tend to be named after the main character, or a setting that is crucial to the plot and storyline. Many traditional and contemporary authors have changed their original choice.
Why did Jane Austen name her novel Mansfield Park instead of after the heroine Fanny Price? It is because of the way of life presented that it represents.
Tiltes? Nightmare, I've already changed mine so many times I can't even remember the first one anymore and I only posted the piece yeseterday:)
I have no idea!! It is more challenging than writing the actual story! feels like the title will determine whether someone will pick up that book and open the page. lot of pressure
Titles are such a pain. I prefer short - 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time' would put me off for starters, though I guess many would pick up such a book because it's unusual.
I write historical action-adventure (Napoleonic cavalry) so avoided a name in the title - too many other genre writers do that. I agonised over the first story which eventually went out as 'Walls of Jericho' (one theme is vaguely religious, social barriers in one MCs way - his name's Joshua - and real walls on a battlefield), the second will be called 'Leopardkill' (more like an adventure story title and ties in with an incident in the book), at the moment the third is called 'Dog Watch' (naval theme and time is critical to the storyline) and the fourth 'Hand of the Baptist' (back to a religious theme).
My hope is they're all unusual enough to attract attention, the disadvantage being they give no real clue to the books' content. I leave that to the cover picture. Hmmm.
