Choosing a Title

Entitlement: Choosing the Right Title for Your Story
by John Floyd

Here is a good article on how to choose a title for your story. In addition to attracting the reader’s attention, Floyd says titles should be interesting, easy to remember and appropriate to the story.

Read the article for more great ideas!
