1. You don't have to Worry About the Title at the Beginning of the Writing Process. You can take time on the title so don't force yourself to think up a title right before you start actually writing.
2. Look for Key Words in the Book
*in my book, SPIES REBORN, I have the word SPIES mentioned a lot because my characters are all spies. So that word is now apart of my book title.
3. Take the Key Words and Turn Them into Titles
* For my book NOT JUST SECRETS, I have a lot of death, secrets, and destruction. I had made a list of all the possible titles.
4. Eliminate any misleading titles
*If I see a book with BLOOD in the title, I usually think it's about Vampires or Zombies. I had no idea it was really about spies or someone getting their heart broken.
5. Take the Rest of the Titles and Google Them.
*eliminate any titles that are similar to others. If one of your titles is Fire Catching, guess what's going to end up popping up everyone types that in?
*I'll give you a hint. they won't be finding your book. They'll just find Catching Fire, from the Hunger Games.
6. Tie Breakers
*Choose your favorite.
*if your indecisive like myself, have someone else choose for you
*Or have several people, (friends, social media etc) vote on which one they like the best.
That is what I did with my book NOT JUST SECRETS.
7. Books in a Series
*If it's a stand-alone, all you need is a title and you are done.
* if you have a series, you need to be a little more careful about titles.
*most books in a series either rhyme or have the same formula. (Divergent Series for Example.)
8. Titling the Book Series
*Named after the first book (Hunger Games series as an example.)
*rhymes with the titles of the other books (Divergent Series)
* has the same formula
