Following are just a handful of titles I’ve started with, and then changed for the better:

  Are You Ready For Online Trading
  Online trading is quick and easy, and it is the convenience of online trading of stocks and shares it has been a major factor in the significant increase in individuals investing on the major stock exchanges of the world, also the large reduction in the cost of trading shares has made it readily affordable by the man in the street.Before you start trading on line there are one or two things you need t
  As writers, we ensure that we use a great opening, that the content is spectacular, and each scene (in fiction) ends with a cliff-hanger. In short, we spend the majority of time tweaking our story. And of course, that’s the way it should be.

  But how much time do we devote to titles? It appears to be very little.

  I recently did an unofficial survey of both published and unpublished writers, and here’s what I found:

  Most believed:

  · The title was unimportant

  · If the editor didn’t like it, she would change it

  · Makes no difference to the book

  · People would buy the book no matter the title

  · It was something to think about later… if the book sold

  They couldn’t be any further from the truth if they tried.

  Titles are extremely important to your story. So important, they will often mean the difference between selling or not.

  It’s okay to have a weak or unrelated ‘working title’ – but that’s as far as it should go. The minute you have an appropriate catchy title, change it. Not only on your ms, but also in your mind.

  When I wrote Saving Emma, it had a horrid working title. “Undercover Love” was never a favourite of mine, but it would do until I could find something better. As I wrote the second last chapter, part of the dialogue talked about the main protagonist ‘saving Emma’ from certain death. In that unforgettable moment, the title jumped off the pages and into my brain.

  Not only did my whole outlook on this book change, but it also changed in the minds of editors and publishers.

  As “Undercover Love” I’d submitted the book to several publishers and had nothing but rejections. And not even personal rejections; I got form letter ‘dear writer’ rejections.

  When the title changed, the responses also changed. I began to get bites and requests. Despite the fact that the story itself was unaltered, editors became interested.

  All this because of a title change?

  Well, yes. Titles are extremely important.

  To get an idea of how much difference a title really can make, take a look at these examples of title changes:

  • Tomorrow is Another Day – Gone with the Wind
  • John Thomas & Lady Jane – Lady Chatterly’s Lover
  • Something that Happened – Of Mice and Men
  • Blossom and the Flower – Peyton Place
  Sometimes it’s just a matter of tweaking your title slightly. For instance, one of my works-in-progress was called “Into the Arms of a Stranger” I hated the title, despised it in fact, until I shortened it. “Arms of a Stranger” is a much better title, and has more appeal than the longer version.

    Young Entrepreneurs are Discovering the Opportunities Available through Online Business Ownership
    I am 23 years old and a mother of two. I have been a homemaker for two years now. I have explored the idea of going back into the workforce but I can't give up the chance to spend all of my time with my husband and children. I am still considered a young worker with little experience, and going back into the workforce would mean I would have to accept a job that pays me much less than I deserve. I was un

      The other day a friend of mine was talking about Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org). He had just looked up something on the site and commented, “Why is this site so awesome? I mean, seriously, have you noticed that it is really the best way to find what you’re looking for?”At first, I wasn’t so sure.I have been, admittedly, a little hesitant to jump on the Wiki-wagon.

        Security in the home has never been as important and as visible as it is today. In recent years there has been an increasing number of home-based crimes including home invasions and break & enters. Of course, any home owner wants to protect their families and belongings, the first step in home security is the realization that there is a need for it.The single most visible aspect of home security is th

          The Power of Habit
          We are all creatures of habit, whether we like it or not. Even though our habits often keep us in our comfort zone instead of reaching our goals, habits per se are not necessarily bad. Without habits, we would have to make conscious decisions at every turn. Nothing would be automatic. We would have to think about everything from brushing our teeth and combing our hair to driving the car. Habits allow us
