Head-Turning Book Titles Editor's Notes 111 December 08, 2011 |
| Hello, that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet --Shakespeare In this issue: 1. What's in a name? 2. Tickled my funnybone 3. Interesting Web site ========== 1. What's in a name? Although a rose won't lose its smell if it's called a fork or a tar pit, a book may not sell as well if it has a dog of a name. A title has to both intrigue and give readers some clue as to what they'll find inside. Frankly, I consider myself to be title impaired. I do not have a gift of quickly coming up with inspired titles. That's when a good system comes in handy. Recently I went through a course with uber marketer Marcia Yudkin and learned many techniques for getting to a good title. I paid good money for that course. Lucky you, Marcia will be giving a free one-hour Webinar on book titles on December 14. To sign up, see #3 below. If you are lucky enough to get in, you will be given a link for the actual date and time of the Webinar. You can participate either through your computer or by phone. =========== 2.Tickled my funnybone Reintarnation : Coming back to life as a hillbilly. =========== 3.
