A Book By Any Other Name...

A published author on my chick lit loop put a call out for help naming her new Mom lit book about a 40-year-old divorced woman who travels to Hawaii. Warner (publisher) wanted something more poignant than the working title "Hula Girl Holiday" so I shot off a list of suggestions and the author (Jane Porter who has written a chick lit called The Frog Prince)0446694495.01.THUMBZZZ sent my list along with some other suggestions from the loop to her editor. The Warner editor selected one of my titles! I can't tell you what it is yet because they want the art department to design it before they announce it. I'll post it here when it's a done deal (hopefully with an actual picture of the cover.) Jane is sending me an ARC of Frog Prince as a thank you...

Excellent! Do you know who that publisher (editor) is? Obviously he/she shares your taste, and might like your next (or last) novel!

BTW, you inspired today's post on my blog. You're on a roll!

It's Warners but not sure of the editor. I'm sure I could find out but what do I say...hey, I'm the one who...oh wait, I have an idea. Maybe I could start a business...Titles R Us! I could become the (virtual) drive through for cover copy and snappy slogans. Would you like fries with that blurb?
