What's in a title?

1. I think is the title is the most important part of trying to sell a book. If the title is boring and undescriptive, everyone will think it’s boring and people walk straight pass the book . For example if you had a book called the Caterpillar, it wouldn’t really appeal to anyone but if you put a verb in there and called it The Very Hungry Caterpillar, people will be much more interested in it because it is more exciting than just the caterpillar. The title captures the feel of the book and what it is going to be like. For example Pretty Twisted is a Mystery novel. From the title you can sense that things get twisted and out of control.

2. Two alternate titles that the author could of gone with but didn’t is 'The Mystery of London' and 'The Kidnapper'.

3. My book couldn’t be in a series because the girl when missing and then then found her again so it covered the whole storyline in one book. But if there was a sequel it should be called 'Pretty Twisted , Freya's Story' Freya was the person who got kidnapped so it would be to see what happened when she was missing and what she did to survive. Another sequel could be called 'Pretty Twisted, Why Kidnappers kidnap' It would be about Freya's kidnapper, Hugh and why he kidnapped Freya and about what was going through his head the whole time when Rosalind was over and during he had Freya kidnapped and when everyone was looking for her.
