Just as people judge a book by its cover, they also judge a book by its title. It must be clear and catchy so that the reader is compelled to pick up the book and read more. While some long titles are successful, typically it is best to use a shorter title–keep it short and sweet! Because the title is part of your cover design, you will want to make sure that the two blend together to make an attractive package that makes the reader grab the book off the shelf.So how do you come up with this title that does all these things? Follow the below tips to help you brainstorm for the perfect title that fits your book perfectly!

• Find intriguing aspects of your story that your readers can visualize and use those words in the title.
• Don’t overlook keywords. Think about what someone might type into a search engine to find a book similar to yours and the subject matter and try to incorporate those words into the title.
• Try to incorporate the benefits that your book has to offer within the title. You want to create a desire within the reader so they feel they HAVE to buy the book.
• There are millions of books and millions of titles, and because they are not copywrited, you may need to choose an alternate title. Check out a wonderful comprehensive tool called Global Books in Print to research book titles.
