Writing for Children SNIPS AND SNAPS WRITING TIPS ON WRITING FOR CHILDREN titles word choice description beginnings ... weedy words WRITING FOR CHILDREN- TITLES: Keep your titles short and snappy. I have learned this one the hard way! People seem to have great difficulty remembering my longer titles, but no problem remembering the shorter ones. A good general rule is to keep your titles from one to three words, no more than five. Catchy sounds- In creating your titles, try playing with poetic devises like alliteration and rhyme. Of my own book titles, I think my favorite is MONSTER MANNERS because the alliteration makes it fun to say. Use verbs- Another way to make a title lively is to use an active verb in it. I did that with FOLLOW ME! Reflect the theme - a good title, however short and catchy, gives us a hint of what the story is about. Hook your reader - The title is your first chance to grab the attention of a reader- or of an editor. Has your title been used?
