How to write the subtitle for your book…

When determining your subtitle…think benefits that the reader will get, think what you promise them.

Think bullet points (but don’t use them in the subtitle), think logically and think what “they” want to solve or know about. Re-read your intro, foreword and first chapter, pull out the phrases you already use and rework them into your subtitle.

Write it out in several different sequencing of words and keep it to around or under 10 words for best comprehension. Fill pages with your sentences. Keep reducing it down to more compact to-the-point phrases.

Put it aside for a few days, then go back.

Finding the time to research your market and get info from others can help you determine the best ways to move forward. I offer book consulting and coaching  sessions. Topics include: title and sub-title creation; book size, promotion, branding and marketing and answer the important questions you might have.
