The Power of Titles: Strategies for Choosing the Right Title for Your Stories & Poetry

Join author, poet, and writing instructor Emily Harstone for a one hour talk and Q&A session.

The right title can win over readers, help your work get in front of editors, and add depth and nuance throughout your story. Whether you’re titling a novel, a poem, or a short story, it can be daunting to choose the right title.

During this talk, you’ll get practical tools and insights for navigating the surprising complexity of titling your work. You’ll learn about genre expectations, the needs of publishers, and get a variety of strategies you can use for creating your own titles.

The talk will air live on Thursday, August 21st at 1pm ET / 10am PT / 6pm London.
