Last week I asked your help in finding a new title for Chasing the Wind
, my Battle of Britain novel, which will soon be released in Kindle format. So far Where Eagles Never Flew is leading by a wide margin. Meanwhile, I want to focus on the subtitle.
A subtitle is particularly important for a book being released in Kindle format because the subtitle provides the key words that will be fed to the search engines. My publisher and I agree that the phrase "Battle of Britain" MUST appear in the subtitle -- as this is the most frequently used search phrase likely to draw prospective readers to the novel.
Another consideration when selecting a subtitle is that it has to fit on the cover. A subtitle that is too long runs the risk of cluttering the cover and detracting from the over all image and so attractiveness.
You may have noted that the two considerations conflict. For the first, more words is better, for the second, less is more.
But that is why I want your help!
Please take a moment to particpate in my survey. Note that for subtitle you may vote more than once.
Thank you!
Helena
