Book title

Hi everyone

Does anyone have any tips/ ideas of how to come up with a book title? It took me ages to come up with the one I have 'damaged', I googled it and couldn't find many books with that title. But then someone told me it's actually quite a popular one, and a search on iBooks confirmed this. Now I'm back to the drawing board.

I didn't think it would be this hard to think of a title!

Thanks

Could your title come from a line of dialogue that one of your characters says?

A few clues that may help pick a title.

What is your novel about?

What is the main theme that runs through it?

What does the protagonist want?

I hope that helps.

Good luck.
