I read this book with an eye of helping me meet a life goal of writing a book. It did not disappoint. It covers a specific topic and does it well. It covers how to make your book title (and subtitle) memorable and discoverable, both very important. If you are writing a book, I think you'll find this a useful read.

This is a must-have for any author trying to come up with a book title. It helps you think through what will make someone pick up (or click) your book because they know it is the genre they're looking for--along with a great cover, of course, but that's for another book. Pen names and other related info are also discussed.

Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

Every author, regardless of where they're at in their career or hobby, should read this book. While we aren't supposed to judge a book by its cover - we all do it, and a book's title plays into that. The importance of a catchy title cannot be overstated.
This book will help any author, no matter what they write. It belongs on every author's shelf as a useful tool.

A quick and easy book to read, with some useful hints and tips, and good examples throughout. I'm gutted he didn't talk about crowdtesting titles and covers more. Quite short!

Super useful compilation of the best tips on how to create the most effective title for your book.
I particularly enjoyed the sections on alliteration, idioms and mash-ups.
A great resource for all independent publishers.

As an author, I am always on the lookout for a book that propels me forward as a writer and helps me sell more books. Book Title Generator does both!
Part marketing book, and part how-to guide for authors, this book combine’s Scott Lorenz’s three decades of experience in marketing with his intimate knowledge of the publishing world to offer a one-of-a-kind guide to naming your book.
While the saying goes “You can’t judge a book by its cover,” we all know that we do. The cover is the first thing readers see, and the title should not only tell them what the book is about, but offer them a gem of inspiration for why they want to read it. Does the book entertain? Does it inform? What is the genre? Lorenz offers ways to sell what’s inside.
Lorenz also talks about certain traits that can raise your book up in the ranks, such as why numbers are often important in a title, and how to use keywords to increase reach in search engines.
He says: Without a powerful title, your book, however well-written it might be, is destined to fall behind the competition. What makes one title outperform another in the terms of clicks, likes, and sales is oft-misunderstood.
Lorenz, publicist and president of Westwind Communications, is no stranger to the book world. Having spent decades helping authors market their books onto top bestseller lists such as USA TODAY, Wall Street Journal, and Amazon, he knows what works and what doesn’t.

Although I was very interested in reading this book, it turned out to be impossible because it's 'Kindle only' and I don't own a Kindle, smartphone or tablet.
Thus it's impossible to say something about the content.

I'm currently writing a book and as a result of reading this I've created a better more action-oriented title. It made me realise is been far too pedestrian in my thinking.

You won't waste money by buying this book. In fact, along with a good cover this book will make you money if you use it to help you make a better title. So glad I read this. Eye-opening.

The best sections of this book are the first chapter, with ideas about keyword search and the last, which has resources. otherwise, this short book has plenty of ideas and examples of book titles, mostly fiction, but no sure-fire formula for success. The best thing is the useful resources. Authors will still have to rely on their own creativity for a title.

A great book with examples on how to best pick out a catchy title for a book. Not only that, it's short, to the point, conversational, and also has many name generating sites you can use.
It also covers pen names.
I've read many books on publishing/writing - and this is well worth it no matter if you're a novice or expert.
