    What makes a great title

    The best titles do three jobs in a few words: they tell readers what kind of book this is, they raise a question or feeling that makes them want to know more, and they are easy to say and search for. A cozy mystery and a dark thriller can share a key word and still need very different titles.

    • Say the title out loud: is it easy to remember and spell?
    • Look at bestsellers in your category and notice the patterns
    • For nonfiction, add a subtitle that states the benefit
    • Test two or three favorites with readers in your genre

    Your title and cover should work as a team. See how our cover designers build covers around a title, or use our royalty calculator to plan pricing.
