Q&A for How to Create a Good Story Title

If your story is about angels, something poetic is probably best, or something with heavy or subtle religious symbolism. If the story is about a human taking an angel into their home and caring for it, a poetic title could be a line from a song, like "Catch a Falling Star." A short, intriguing title like "Wing Beats" would also work.

Perhaps something like, "Dagger Through the Heart," "What I Once Was," "Promises Broken," "Oaths Shattered," or "Tides Turned." Go for something strong and something that invokes all the pain and feelings of the story.

It depends. If the lead dies in the beginning, maybe "Love and Loss." If he or she dies in the end, maybe make it something vague that won't spoil for your readers that they will die, like "The Risks of Love."

"So This is Normal" might work. It suggests that that character isn't used to normal, but is suddenly reincarnated into something normal.

Alliteration and wordplay are good techniques. One-word titles also catch attention, and are great for thrillers and horror stories.

Pick the line that stands out most to you and go from there.

Yes, provided it makes sense for your story.

Think what your story is about and base it on that, Either make it short and sweet or make it mysterious but relevant. You can also try to use alliteration in a title to make it more catchy.

Here is a short list of suggestions: Intriguing, flourishing, majestic, destiny, elegant, melancholy, monochrome, revelation, entwined, durable, pessimistic, honor, unyielding, glorious, eerie, chance, glazed, petrified, angelic, purposeful, impure, unclean, unnecessary, brandishing.

Think of titles related to water and tsunamis. Here are a few examples: The Wave, Rising Waters, The Power of Water, Liquid Destruction, A Tremble Offshore, Water-quake.

Of course! Are you familiar with the saying, "Write what you know"? Personal experience makes the story relatable.

Think of the main character and/ or the main scene, then name the book after that. For example, Jill and the Beanstalk; Missy and the Overrated Broomstick; Cedrik the Impaled Prince; Sissy and the Lost Leg.

Think of a key moment in your life, and come up with a title that references that moment.

Something that starts with 'Dear' is pretty cliche, but it gives the reader a clear idea what's coming. You could also try something like "Journal of a [insert something interesting here]."

Use something that relates to your story. Showing the inner person and emotions helps sad stories come to life.

Maybe "Underneath the Deep" or "Underneath the Ocean Blue"? Something like this that gives a hint to the book's setting would be good.

A few ideas are "Bitten", "Fangs", or something along those lines. If you're looking for something more unique, you could try combining names and things. Let's say the main character is named Emily: "Bitten by Emily". Or something mysterious, like "Midnight Monster". But I encourage you to think of your own title from these tips! You will feel way more accomplished.

Maybe something like "Voices From the Past," "Haunting," or "Before I Go." Or maybe your title could reference what specifically the ghost needs help with or what it's trying to communicate to people?

"Once Upon a Vampire" would be a great title and very exciting because it leads to much more events in the story without knowing what will happen or spoiling the suspense, especially if it's a horror story.

Maybe something simple, like: "My Life." Or you could do a play on words, like: "For the Life of Me."

You can name it as "Disaster+Rival=?" or anything that is mysterious that will encourage the person to read it to find out more.

Basketball Queen, Through the Hoop, On the Court, Shoot!, Hit and Miss, or Swish.

I think a good title for a tragic recount (example: flood) would be "Gone With The Waves". Or for a drunk driving accident "Crashing Into Disaster".

By practicing more and more writing skills. Try to find where are you having problem. If you are facing problem in grammar, study it to help you to improve your errors.

You have a lot of options. You could start right at the end of the series and pick up where the writers left off. You could skip ahead a few years and write a story about how the characters' lives have changed since the series ended. If you want to include a more historical perspective, you could write about one of Korra's past lives. You could write about one of the ones featured in the series or make one up -- there are hundreds, if not thousands in the line. Of course, since Korra is disconnected from all the past Avatars, you could include her in a very interesting way by writing a story in which she is reading about one of her past lives or learning about it from a spirit in the Spirit World.

"Outsiders" is a good story name for a book like that or it could be called "The Visitors."

You can always use inspiration from your book or a chapter to get an idea, or something you know happened in the war.

How about The Waking? Search up some synonyms for the word awakening.

It's totally up to you. Some people write short stories that aren't divided into chapters at all, it just depends on how you want to tell your story. A novel of around 300 pages tends to have around 15 chapters.

Think about what it's about. If it's about a mysterious sapphire that summons storms, you could call it 'The Thunder Whisperer' or 'The Lightning Rock.' If it's about a person, you could call it 'For Joey' or 'What Penny Did.' You could also name it after something someone said in a book: 'Half Upon A Time' is a good example.
