Only Fifteen Minutes of Fame?

A few months ago Alesia Holliday was having trouble getting a title approved for her newest Chick Lit Legal Thriller by her publisher (Berkley) so she asked for help on the Chick Lit E-mail Loop I belong to. It's about a tall blonde attorney...and her editor decided on my suggestion.

Hopefully this isn't the pinnacle of my writing career, but it's still pretty cool. To see my words on a book cover...even if I didn't write the book, gave me quite a few chills. Would a book by any other title smell as sweet? I think not!

Congratulations! Since "Legally Blonde" was taken, that's not half bad!

But I'm jealous, because that's probably closer to getting published than I'll ever come. Maybe if I submitted all my stuff first to you so you could find all my errors...

Nah, that would take you too long. You have a life, as I remember.

(Hey, "felons" rhymes with "melons!" No, I won't go there.)

You already have a critique partner. Give me a call when you need title help. But I work cheap. All it'll cost you is one tiny dedication...lol.

Congratulations - I'd say that is an honor indeed.

Well done, Karyn. And you're right, the title (and appearance) have so *very* much to do with the selling of a novel. Congratulations.

Yes, I LOVE AND ADORE Karyn! And her titles. My editor just said, "We're really going to need a GREAT title for the second mystery after how much everyone LOVED Blondes Have More Felons!"

Maybe you'll have to title my next book, too . . .
hugs,
Alesia

Alesia! Thanks for stopping by...I'd love to help with your next book. Maybe I'll start a website Titles R Us.com

I can't wait till Blondes Have More Felons comes out!
