This is totally random... But that's what this book is for!

How to Find the Perfect Title

A title is arguably the most important part to getting a reader's attention, as it's the first thing they would see. There isn't one perfect method to find a title, but here are some brainstorming ideas/methods.

Method #1: Acronyms

This method is easy and fun, so it's worth a try to at least get you some ideas. To do this:

1. Without paying attention, randomly type in 2-5 letters

2. Hit enter and repeat as many times as you want

3. Try to come up with a title for each set of letters as if it were an acronym. Feel free to skip one, as you probably won't come up with your best title from XJQYZ :) Also feel free to change them to your needs and add words like and, the, of, etc.

Here's an example I did with a romance I just started about a girl accidentally reuniting with her childhood friend on a business trip to New York:

JEEK: Just Everything I've Ever Known

YMM: You, Me and Memories

AOA: All Over Again

IWAR: I Will Always Return

NC: No coincidence

Method #2: Opposites

This kind of title is probably best for humor/light hearted romances. One real example of this kind of title is Art Geeks & Prom Queens by Alyson Noel. It's pretty self explanatory but here are some examples:

-Flip-Flops & Cowboy Boots

-Good Boys & Bad Girls

-Sunny Days & Starry Nights

You could also do something similar to this without using complete opposites:

-White Sand & Spray on Tans

-Roses & Dandelions

Method #3: Expect the Unexpected

Really corny subtitle, I know. But this one's kind of fun. Just take a classic/overused title and change something to make unique. It would probably be used mostly for humor and light teen fiction. For example:

-The Life And Lies of Nobody Cares

-The Official Encyclopedia of How to Be an Idiot

-Love, War, and Raspberry Cupcakes
