what to call my novel. part two!!?

Question

thanks for some great sugguestions and it does have a happy ending. the main girl stands up to her father. her sister is also a drug addicted and abandons her 3 children but the girl helps her sister and the children get adopted out. the teacher she sleeps with comes back into the story. the book happens over a couple of years and they get married and fall in love. its not all depressing. the main girl name is chelsa. should i call the book "chelsa" would you be drawn to wanting to read that??? i need more suggestions. thanks so much

Answer 1

Glad to hear that it has a happy ending. There are so many anxiety inducing books out there on the shelves already...

Just the one word title wouldn't give me the desire to pick up the book but using her name in the title might. Since she seems to be motivated by love (helps her sister, falls in love w/teacher, etc) maybe something along the lines of:

"Chelsea, Luv"
"Chelsea's Loves"
"Love, Chelsea" (like the closing of a letter)

Or, since this story takes place over a few years:
"Chelsea's Journey" (as in a life journey)
"Travels with Chelsea" (since the reader will be involved with this experience)

Or, the title that would get my attention:

"It DOES Have a Happy Ending!"

Hope this helps.

Good luck--again!

Answer 2

how bout "the life of Chelsa" or "The many faces of Chelsa"
something like that. i am also a fellow writer. and i won 14 state contest (low key contest) for book titles. some were creative....and some were simple. i like "the many faces of Chelsa."
hope i helped.

Answer 3

There are a couple of titles that come to my mind "The Ballad of Chelsa", "Certainly Chelsa" or maybe "Clearly and Completely Chesla."

Answer 4

I wouldn't obsess too much on a title. If you get it published, they'll probably want to change it anyway.

Answer 5

How about: "Just Chelsea"
or "Yours, with love, Chelsea"

Answer 6

How about Angst?
