But yes, the agent (to an extent) and the editor (to a huge extent) will have input on the title, too. But that will happen much further down the line; focus on the content and nail a book deal and then if you want to change/alter the title, there will be time to do that.<BR/><BR/>If you want/need any info on looking for agents/query letters, definitely e-mail me. It was a year ago this summer I got my agent so hopefully I've learned something worth passing along :)Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10392908564921877962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326725956609171637.post-49927085359041149202007-06-05T21:07:00.000-07:002007-06-05T21:07:00.000-07:00Sign me up for one of those books hot off the pres...Sign me up for one of those books hot off the presses...good luck!

Keep plugging away. <BR/><BR/>I would guess that your agent or publisher will have the most say in the title, and that you mainly just need a title to get an agent's attention.<BR/><BR/>I still like Sick Girl Speaks.Dr. Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948465953082545747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326725956609171637.post-62186490390175009762007-06-03T20:39:00.000-07:002007-06-03T20:39:00.000-07:00I must confess, I like the title "And You Thought ...I must confess, I like the title "And You Thought YOU had it bad..." But that's just me.<BR/>I also am trying to digest the title as one of those lame well-world people. I'm thinking "would I pick up this book if I saw it on the shelf?" Of course, that implies that I actually read books these days, but for the sake of argument...<BR/>I almost want to see something in there about lifes lessons when your life is ending (or so you think). I don't know, I have to think about it. I'm sure you are waiting with baited breath for my thoughts, but since you asked. I'll have to shoot you an email. I think there is a catchier title. Okay the end of my two cents.JJBrakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453894113998905118noreply@blogger.com
