I want you to be honest.
Go on. You can tell your Auntie Tara. Were you too embarrassed to try the Chick-Lit Book Title Generator?
Was it just too darned demeaning, even in the name of fun, to attach your name to book titles for such an apparently fluffy, commercial genre? The sort you would never write? (If you ever were to write, like?)
Well, fear not! The solution, ladies and gentlemen, is to have yourself a good look at the Braniac Edition of the Book Title Generator.
Wow your friends with the unlimited prowess of the highbrow-sounding book you may never write!
Inspire the Intelligentsia with a novel title which is yards better than anything actually published!
Impress yourself with the sheer depth of unwritten fathomable truths behind your hypothetical work of literary brilliance!
I give you: The Literary Fiction Book Title Generator.
Here’s mine:
The Indubitable Torchlight Of Tuamgraney by Tara Sparling (that’s me)
So what’s YOUR brainy book title? Embrace free speech by leaving a comment!
**********
Tara Sparling writes 
‘The Incandescent Intelligence In Carron Row’? Doesn’t sound like a book I’d like to read, being honest. Though it does sound a bit more SF than LitFic, which (in my mind) is a Good Thing. 🙂

Not at all, that sounds like a completely impenetrable piece of high litfic to me! Perhaps even one of those ones which wins multiple prizes, because nobody will admit how deeply they don’t understand it. Perhaps because they didn’t want to read it either. But isn’t that the whole point of high litfic?!

You need to write that! Doesn’t it just conjure up a pile of amazing ideas? In fact, you have a touch of the the “chick-noir” about that too – strange and nasty goings-on with mother-in-laws, perhaps – that bandwagon is still trundling down the road, don’t let it pass you by!

Thanks Lawrence!
Your story possibilities with this title are endless, even when devilling is taken for its legal meaning… there could be 3 or 4 books in that alone! You should patent it immediately 🙂

You can’t patent titles, as far as I know. I am curious to know more the legal protection of devilling! Titles and story ideas will never be a problem for me. 🙂

I think you should get on to that immediately – but with a title like that he’ll be a shoe-in. For sure!

That sounds like a sordid Sidney Sheldon novel. I’ll get to writing it ASAP.

I’d like to reply to that, but I’m afraid it’s impossible. 75% of my brain cells are intimidated and refusing to come out. It’s a good sign – you should power on with that.

It is rather intimidating, isn’t it?

Yep. It might not be a bestseller at first, but you’ll get all the prizes from the judges too intimidated to admit they don’t understand it…

Have you read about the student who wrote a nonsensical paper that got published on Nature (I think), just because no one wanted to admit they had no idea what the feck he was on about? This could be my version of that! 😀
