How to Know When You've Got the Right Title
Even after receiving a list of strong mystery title options, it's important to validate which one truly fits. Ask yourself:
- Does the title reflect the story’s tone and genre—suspenseful, clever, or chilling?
- Will it intrigue potential readers on a bookshelf or search result?
- Is it easy to pronounce, remember, and spell?
- Does it feel original, or too close to something already published?
