I was talking to my sister who works in a library. I was asking her about if the book cover attracted people to read the book. I was surprised that she said that the most important thing that attracted readers was the title.
That answered surprised me so I questioned her more. She said that people look for interesting titles and picked the books that seem interesting. She said that books covers have only limited effect.
Since she works in a library and see people picking out books all the time, I figured that she was probably right.
So I looked through my novel covers and found four that should be changed. Since none of these novels had sold, I thought that maybe the title was the problem.
I asked my sister about these titles and she said that these titles wouldn't attract much interest in her library and suggested that I change them.
So I changed Franklin to Seduction of Franklin
Memory Lane to Looking for Lost Love
Julie and Her Preacher to Reincarnation of Julie
Almost Women to Invasion of Alien Women
I changed the titles novels, rewrote the descriptions, and made new novel covers. Then I resubmitted the novels to Amazon. Go over and look at the novels and see if that is an improvement.
So do you agree with my sister's opinion about book titles and have you changed any of your titles?
