About Creating the Perfect Title

Post: 489:

            If you’re looking for a title to your next book or film, I’m here to help. Pretty simple. It’s good to have a thing and another thing and relate them in a way that makes little to no sense but sounds poetic. The following are some of my favorite books, and they’re very popular with the masses, so I rest my case even though I haven’t yet made it:

            Everyone Brave Is Forgiven

            All The Light We Cannot See

            The Light Between Oceans

            By the way, light seems big, so maybe throw that in somewhere no matter what.

            Beneath A Scarlett Sky. Almost. Too much sense. How about, Beside a Scarlett Sky? Or, Away the Scarlett Sky? Sales will skyrocket.

            Of course you’ve got your Catcher in the Rye and your To Kill a Mockingbirds. See what I mean?

            Even though these books are all freaking awesome, the titles don’t exactly give you a sense of anything in particular. And that’s the genius.

            Let’s buck the trend to see what happens. Just name your book something we can apprehend. If it’s about Dan and he’s a robber, call it Old Dan’s Robbing a Bank. You could just go John Wick style and call it Dan.

            Anyway, look for my newest book coming out early 2019. It’s called The Names We Go By. Yeah, I don’t know what it means either.
