Your Title Matters

Lately, I’ve been reading a number of submissions that are pretty damn good, but have not great titles. While this is something that can be easily fixed most of the time, I do find it a little distracting. The title of a story or poem is important. It is the prelude. It is the amuse tete, if you will, so it was pretty excellent timing when Entertainment Weekly, or The Bible as I like to call it, put up a little thing about the 14 worst titles for celebrity memoirs. The Gray Lady also weighs in on the importance of a good title.

So it has been written, so it shall be!
