Book titles shape our expectations, set the mood & tone of a book and they can even influence how we interpret the story itself. They are also the most shared part of the book. Whenever we recommend a book to someone, it is always the title that comes first, before anything else.
So, this is why I wanted to dive into the topic of book titles today. We’ll be looking at:
- How book titles have evolved across history
- What functions book titles serve
- What psychology tells us about book titles
- The process of choosing book titles
I hope you enjoy today’s episode.
