Looking for a name for your novel?
…Or your celebrity autobiography?
Or perhaps you have no intention whatsoever of writing a novel. But wouldn’t it be nice to know what your book would be called, if you did?
Well, you’ve come to the right place! Let the Book Title Generators do the work:
In the interests of full disclosure, here are mine…
Chick-Lit: Where Rainbows Might Speak
Crime: The Mortal Fissure
Literary: The Indubitable Torchlight Of Tuamgraney
Celebrity Autobiography: TARA SPARLING: My Spirited Pilgrimage
Christmas: Where Elves Might Rejoice

I seem to have a thing about ‘kisses’ – lol! I’m a sci-fi/fantasy writer and kissing is usually the last thing I focus on in a novel – perhaps the kiss could represent something else though 😉

I have book title envy, M.J.! They are some of the best I’ve seen and in particular I’m dying to read The Hollow Kiss! How I didn’t give my own initials the best shot, having made up the generators, will remain a mystery to me now for all time 😉

Oh my, let me try my hand on this:
Some Wishes will Heal (“goodness, I’d love it if mine could” *buys the book*)
The Indecipherable Wilting of Tynset (*Peers at the name* “my golly, it’s Scandinavian!” *book purchase complete*)
The Salt House (“WHAT HAPPENED AT THE SALT HOUSE?” *book in the basket; returned to the retailer the next morning*)
No wonder some titles seem to glare at you from the shelves. Seriously, this name generator is an internet-sent blessing, the pinnacle of technology.

I wanted to respond to these with something pithy and erudite, but I’m afraid The Indubitable Eulogies of Quail Hollow is just so intelligent-sounding that it seems to have short-circuited my brain… I think I need to lie down now.

So heartbreak could win – That one should be perverse comedy about some kind of bet.
The poisonous counterfoil of … I don’t know, Polish cities don’t have sexy names – How about a book that actually has a poisonous counterfoil in it? Main character gets the coupon, wins the prize and gets poisoned. So to heal himself up he uses all money he won.
The sullied city – That one is obvious. Cleaning lady who “cleans” the city at night.

Hi Patti! The generators I do really only exist to make fun of overused stereotypes and clichés in lazy or unimaginative book marketing… unless a genre is guilty of them, it’s not really my area. I don’t think the sci-fi romance genre is there yet, but as soon as it is, rest assured I’ll be all over it like a rash!

I have never considered writing chick-lit, but I am tempted to reconsider now that I have the title, “How Kisses Cannot Sail.” Armed with this title, the obvious direction for my novel will be to roam into dadaist territory, and write the first groundbreaking, crossover dadaist/chick-lit work to grace the literary scene.
