It seems that one of the things writers most have trouble with are the book titles. We want to write a story. But what do we call it? Hopefully this article will help toi out a little bit and give toi ideas.

The Main Character's Name!

One of the most populaire things writers do is name the story after the main character. This makes the reader's main focus go to that one character, and become curious as to what happens to them.

The Group ou Object Title!

Writers also drift toward naming thier works after a group in the series ou an object that plays a big part in the book. Take one of my other favori book series for example.

The Mortal Instruments
The Mortal Instruments is named so because of three objects in the series. A mirror, sword, and a cup. These objects were used par a man to create a legion of Shadowhunters(Demon-Hunters). The main bad guy in the series spends most of the his time trying to get these objects.

Symbolic Names!
Another idea is to name it after something it symbolizes ou something one of the characters say. Take, "To Kill a Mockingbird" par Harper Lee, for example. A story about a little girl named Scout who is introduced to racial injustice in the south.
"Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make musique for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."

The story goes on into telling us about a black man who was accused of raping a white girl in the town. Everybody knew he was innocent, but the man was still charged and murdered. The quote is symbolic because HE symbolizes the mockingbird.


One-Word Names!

The last idea I have is to give the book a one-word name. This one word could sum up the entire book series. Take the book, "Speak" par Laurie Halse Anderson. A book about a girl who never speaks up and tells anybody about her problem. In addition to her never speaking up, a few sub-plots in the story deal with the same "Speak" idea. Like her lab partner who stands up to one of the teachers.

I hope this article helps toi name your book/story. I and if not, I really hope I give toi some ideas!
