There is no charm equal to the tenderness of the heart.
--Jane Austen.
Why did you read that romance?
The title sucked me in.
What catches our eye first? I thought I'd explore how
romantic titles suck us in and dare us to read them.
Why did you pick up that romance story? Was it the title?
Did it intrigue you?
Coming up with a title for your story is never easy. The
main ingredient: Your title should never be dull. After all, what entices you
more to read: "Gone with the Wind" or "The Plantation?"
A title should be easy to remember and appropriate to your
story. "Romeo and Juliet" is a good example. It's easy and puts the
main characters front and center.
Everyone knows "Pretty Woman." Julia Roberts is a
hooker with a heart of gold. The title is easy to remember and describes
Roberts' character, Vivian, inside and out – she truly is a pretty woman. The
challenge (or conflict) is finding a way out of her predicament.
The best titles reflect the tone of the story and are found
in the context of the writing. The more clear and clever the title, the better.
A story title represents your work to the rest of the world
so pick well and show off your interesting side.
LET'S TAKE A POLL:
Tell me what Title caught your attention:
#1 - Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas
#2 - Chilled by Kendra Elliot
#3 - The Rogue you Know by Shana Galen
#4 - Stranger in the Moonlight by Jude Deveraux
I like the Rogue You Know. It sounds more intriguing than the others, but close second is Stranger in the Moonlight.
