Then there is the unlucky occurrence when someone publishes their book AFTER you published yours, they use the same title and the same last name, and theirs becomes highly successful on TikTok. I've suffered the fallout when their readers accidently bought my book and left negative reviews, lol. Actually am wondering whether I SHOULD change the title now.

In reply to Cherie Denna. Without knowing more about the book it's hard to say.. but the title feels dark. And it's also long. Additionally, what are the benefits to the readers?

My WIP is an anthology. The working title is Warring Light: Stories from Writers on Calling, Courage, and Illumination in a Dark World.

I welcome your feedback!

In reply to Wendy Pearson. Wendy, you are the winner in the comment section today. All of us have read this and seen ourselves. I agree that the title is in the manuscript, only we the author can't see it. We need "someone else" to pull the thing out of thin air. :)
