Now, granted, I am insanely biased, given that I have a book coming out with "daughter" in the title. So: bias up the wazoo. (Itself a title of potential awesomeness.)<br /><br />But I think daughter/wife will always be a presence in women's fiction titles, just because the books are generally about women, who are wives/mothers/daughters just as men are husbands/fathers/sons, and titles often describe one or more characters either by name or role (everything from Olive Kitteridge to The Little Giant of Aberdeen County).<br /><br />In any case, it's not something aspiring writers should lose a lot of sleep over -- titles are easy to change. The book is the book. Write a good one, and learn like mad from places like this. That's the only sure path forward.Jaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11282363841620823339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733835506387656648.post-1724214923689165772010-06-02T16:00:02.149-04:002010-06-02T16:00:02.149-04:00Thanks for the Jason Pintor link.

Loved his "pitching iPads to the Amish" quote.<br /><br />I'm writing a grown-up bro-oriented story and I've been quite worried about it for the same reasons Pintor mentions. It's a mysterey but it's written in noir style, though lighter. But noir is generally considered a male genre.<br /><br />Thanks for the great post.

If the elegant, witty romance a la Tracy/Hepburn, Gable/Lombard came back in a 21st century form, I'd give up my Netflix and read a book every night. PLEEEAAASE, publishing gods? Clever, fun books for smart, grown-up ladies?

Yeah.<br /><br />A follow up question please, kind sir? What if you really believe your book could get shelf space at Walmart (well if you removed an expletive or two) because it's a literary Twinkie and people really seem to like Twinkies. Sky high concept.<br /><br />What I'm trying to ask is, is there a market at all anymore for old-fashioned romance in women's fiction? More Tracy/Hepburn than Sex in the City? I fear I may just be too far out of my time...any thoughts for us on that?<br /><br />Thanks so much for this blog and your Tweets are brilliant.February Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01078037856070486022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733835506387656648.post-10079020080007997532010-06-02T12:38:27.205-04:002010-06-02T12:38:27.205-04:00"...it also might mean we need a few more non...<i>"...it also might mean we need a few more non-YA bro-oriented books out there.
