THE TITLE AND SUB-TITLE
We don’t have to think up a title till we get the doggone book finished.
- - - Carl Sandburg
The title of a book is like a window, hopefully a clear one, into the alternate world that you’ve fashioned on the page. It’s a sneak peek into a new reality. Your title might describe a defining moment in the book, a mood that dominates the story, or a lesson that informs the reader. It might be a name or a great line, a metaphor or a hint of a hidden meaning that will be revealed later.
