Testing those titles by checking them against Amazon is always a good thing.<br /><br />I'm so excited to see you're writing YA too. LOVE your writing!! <br /><br />Have a great weekend. My sister and I are going to see Magic Mike. I got my dollar bills handy.

I've seen two of them crop up on Amazon since I first sent in the proposals. :(Amanda Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06442633312669946321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817438941023006688.post-76333479030923921072012-06-29T09:05:22.877-05:002012-06-29T09:05:22.877-05:00Great post, Amanda.

Not many people know how much effort can be spent on titles, especially for a series.<br /><br />From your examples, they back up something I've been doing with mine. I generally start with 3-5 words to make my books unique from the sea of 1 word titles.(IN THE ARMS OF STONE ANGELS & ON A DARK WING, my YA titles) I also like evocative titles of opposite meaning words, like AN ELEGANT DEATH. Before I submit my titles to my publisher, I do a cross check at Amazon or B&N online to see if my titles have been used before. Editors do this too. <br /><br />All of my adult titles were THE ONLY ones with those titles until Karen Rose recently took NO ONE LEFT TO TELL. I wish her well with it.Jordan Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03350761658156085280noreply@blogger.com
