Help me Name My New Book!

Hey guys, here is a tall order for you. I'm writing a book for Amazon which I guess will be in a Kindle format. It's geared toward homesteading and survival types of things. I plan on writing more in the series, geared toward specific topics, too...think "Dummies" books.

I was originally going to call it The "smart girls" guide but then I'm afraid guys won't read it.

I want it to be catchy, memorable, and make people feel like its a cool thing to pick up and read.

Think about ease of remembering, style, being interviewed by someone...things like that, when coming up with it.

Some of my thoughts are:

Surviving Natural Disasters, Government Insanity, and a Zombie Apocalypse

Natural Disasters, Government Conspiracies, and the Impending Zombie Apocalypse

The Zombie Apocalypse and other Impending Disasters

Preparing for the Apocalypse: Man-made, Prophesied, or Zombie Induced


These are all cool but none of them really have that sequel thing going on to use for every book (ie. Dummies, National Lampoon, etc...)

Thanks for your help!

Honestly it doesn't sound like anyone should waste their money on that "book". "Surviving a zombie apocalypse" sounds stupid. People work hard for their money, don't insult their intelligence or try to sell them a joke book, if they want a joke book on how to survive there's plenty of forums for that.

you aspire to kindle.

sad. (a book has paper pages)


you want a book on apocalyptic event advice to have sequel based title?

your credibility will be existent.


if pending apocalypse renders electronics useless, will this affect your 'readers'?

Dear Anonymous Coward, first of all...it takes like two seconds to register here on GLP. It makes your comments much less of a joke when there's a real account attached to them.

Second of all, I am asking about titles...not whether you think I should write a book. If you have no ideas up there in your head, Im not really interested in what you have to say.

Thirdly, if you use that computer in front of you to research Kindle sales, trends, and the future of electronic media you may actually enter into the current year in which we live.

"your credibility will be existent" makes absolutely no sense at all. I guess that is why you are not the one writing the book....

Here's my titles- if you use any, you'll have to credit me.

1.How to stay alive - Part 1 "----- -----.."
2.Stayin' alive - Part 1 "----- -----"
3. Beat Death when this Happens - "When ALiens invade"( for eg)
4. "Watcha gonna do when this happens - "----- ------"
5. How 2 save your butt when.. "Zombies take over Earth"(for eg)
6. Read this BEFORE - The NWO take over ( for example)
7. Read this 'n' don't die WHEN - "fat girls invade"( for example)
8. The Armaggedon handbook collection

Book title ideas by "The SouL"

This is a forum. This is where people share ideas (or not share ideas). Most people who comment on a thread for someone who is asking for ideas will post... AN IDEA... not a bunch of crying about giving credit. When it comes time to pull together in a community to help out eachother, I hope you are not in mine. People who strive for money, notoriety, and credit are nothing but pigs who need to validate themselves to others.

The spirit of friendly fun and creative networking is what I am striving for here...and idea pool. If you don't know what that is or what that means....stfu. BYE. Theres ALWAYS a dick who needs to ruin things.

Who would have EVER THOUGHT that arguments like yours would turn up in a thread about thinking of a good book title? God, you SUCK!!

people who 'strive for credit' for their own creative work are 'pigs' ? You're fookin mad.. what a strange logic you have. Face it you're a lazy assed plagiarist. If you've got an idea have the fucking guts and creative energy to finish the fucking peice you pathetic moron. Otherwise don't Fking bother. Aking for feedback and sharing your idea is one thing. Getting others to fking write it for you is just fking lazy, particularly as you don't think you should credit them in any way for their contribution because in your eyes they're pigs. Idiot. I hope your book sells one copy to yourself only with those dodgy suspect demented standards you hold. Not only that it appears you're trying to sell garbage.

Acronyms are always good. Remember the KISS series?
(Keep it simple, stupid!) or the Idiot's guides?

How about we take
Kiss Your Ass Goodbye that someone suggested on page 1 of this thread and turn it into the K-YAG line of survival books?

Or KTKS! (keep those kabars sharp! ala THE HAWK!)

Good luck. I am also looking into the self publish with Kindle for my historical fiction.

Thank you for your thoughts...but who would I credit? The anonymous coward on GLP? lol

I'm still sort of stuck though....the title needs to be more universal...something to fall before the topic. Like "....." guide to prepping, "....." guide to gardening, "....." guide to food storage. Something like that.

Im not really sure, its all brainstorming. Thats why Im here :)
