How to choose a great book name
- 1
Match genre expectations: thrillers favour short and punchy, literary fiction can be lyrical, non-fiction should promise a result.
- 2
Search the title on Amazon and Goodreads to avoid competing with an established book.
- 3
Read it aloud with your name: '___ by [You].' It should sound like a real book.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a book title?
- Start with the emotional core or central image of the story, then test candidates against your genre's conventions and existing titles.
- Can two books have the same title?
- Titles aren't copyrighted, so yes — but it hurts discoverability. Aim for a title that's distinctive in your category.
- Should a non-fiction book title include the benefit?
- Yes — non-fiction readers buy outcomes. A clear promise in the title or subtitle sells more than a clever pun alone.
