That's how you know I didn't write it!
Titles are hard. Truly hard. And often the title you love will be replaced by the publisher whose marketing department has a different idea about what sells. This is not always a bad thing, mind you. Margaret Mitchell's original title was, Tomorrow is Another Day. It was the editorial staff that came up with Gone With the Wind.
As hard as it can be to come up with a good title, agent Rachelle Gardner manages to break it down in some simple and logical steps.
I highly recommend you read her suggestions here.
Have a great writing week!
