Learn to Write: How To Name Your Book
I see a lot of new books come through this old timey library, and Iâm starting to think that the actual writing may be the easy part of putting a book out, or at least the part that requires the least amount of thought. Nowadays, it seems like naming your book is the real challenge for todayâs aspiring besteller author. As always, Stacked is looking out for up and coming writers. Thatâs why weâve compiled this handy guide to naming your soon-to-be chart topping literary sensation.
Before you can come up with a name, itâs important to figure out exactly what kind of book it is youâve written. Ask yourself this: Did you make it up? If so, itâs most likely a work of fiction. Letâs start there.
1. Does someone get murdered in the book? Congratulations! Youâve written yourself a mystery! The great thing about mysteries is that you can write a bunch of them using the same characters. In order to help your readers know whether theyâre reading a book youâve written, you should pick one vaguely sinister sounding word, then include that word in all of your book titles. Letâs say your word is âbrutal.â Without even really thinking about it, youâve got âBrutal Justice,â âBrutal Force,â âBrutal Brutalityâ⦠see how easy this is? Best of all, whenever anyone thinks about the word âbrutalâ theyâll think about reading one of your books.
2. Is your book about someone in the developing world? Perhaps someone coming of age, or experiencing the strains the rapidly encroaching modern world places on their traditional way of life? If so, youâre in luck, because this kind of book is extremely easy to name. Just look at something your character does or is, then describe it in an awkward way by using an unusual or outdated word order and/or little used vocabulary words or tenses. The idea is to make it sound like a foreign person said it. For instance, if I were naming a book like that based on what Iâm doing right now, Iâd call it âThe Gazer of Screensâ or âThe Sitter Of Chairs.â Or possibly âThe Typist of Snark.â
3. Have you written something âimportantâ designed to be cooed over by the critical set? A work of âliterature,â perhaps? Youâre facing a challenge here. People have been writing literature for so long now, most of the good names are taken. Best to just string together a bunch of vaguely melancholy sounding words and hope for the best. I recommend something like âMountain of Sorrowâ or âSighs of the Sparrowâs Progenyâ
Did you only make up 50% of your book? If so, youâve got a work of non-fiction on your hands. Good for you!
4. Titling works of non-fiction is laughably easy. Just remember one word: colon. In general, the more colons you have in your title, the better. Also, make sure one of the colon-separated sections in your title focusses on the words âhowâ or âwhy.â Try âBusted!: Why the Liberals Liberalize While Conservatives Conserve: A Motherâs Storyâ or âLand of Milk and Terror: How the James K. Polk Administration Ruined Our Values, and Why it Matters: A Roadmap for the 21st Century.â Did you see how I got bonus points for using how AND why in one of my clauses? Pretty clever, huh?
5. Have you written a self-help book? Sorry, friend. Youâve made a terrible mistake. Itâs not that you wonât get rich, itâs just that youâve done it backwards. You probably thought of a good thing people can do to make their lives better, then wrote your idea out in book form, and now youâre trying to think of a title for it. What you should actually do is to think of a clever (but not too clever) title, write a book based on your title, then hope people have already paid for the book before they realize it is absolutely useless. Itâs also a good idea to use a title that is easy to turn into numerous sequels. My advice is to throw away the book youâve written and see what you can do with âHow Many Flowers Are In Your Basket?â (possible sequels: âFlowers In Your Basket At Work,â âFlowers In Your Basket In The Bedroom,â âFlowers In The Convicted Felonâs Basketâ etc. etc.)
6. The final book type you run into these days is the wry memoir. These are easy and fun to name. Just come up with an outrageous or absurd sentence. Youâve nailed it if you can picture someone reading your title, then giving one of those bemused head shakes while saying âWhat the⦠? That title is totally outrageous and absurd!â As with all works of non-fiction, a colon and a how/why bit never hurts. Try âSpeaking French With Pigeons At The Cracker Factory: My Years As A Down-And-Out Rugby Referee And How I Learned To Love My Anklesâ
There you go. Now all you need are a few hundred pages of words and youâre ready to climb the charts. In the next installment of our âLearn to Writeâ series Iâll be teaching you the proper facial expressions and dress for your dust jacket author photo.

i just got a kindle and i've been looking at sites where you can get free eBooks but all the sites I've found only have classic novels. I was looking for one that would have books such as A great and terrible beauty,the alchemyst, etc.
Answer
Modern books are still copyrighted and cannot be given away without the author/publisher's permission. Some authors will allow some of their books to be distributed for free as a teaser for later books in a series. If you like sci-fi or fantasy, Baen has a free library that quite a few authors have contributed to. Also, Amazon periodically offers some books for free (for a limited time), presumably on the same premise. Go to the Kindle Store and sort books by price from low to high to find these.
