The Beating of A Heart

Naming Your Project
You have written the next bestseller, or so you think, but what should you title your project? A name can make or break a novel. If you’ve written a sci-fi fantasy with no romance yet give it a name similar to a romance novel, then you have misrepresented your book, which in turn will draw…
