Book Title Reveal and Win a Kindle!

There is so much happening in January – including a competition to celebrate the upcoming release of my book. Sign up to my Readers’ Group if you’d like to hear how to win a Kindle! Be quick, as the competition opens very soon.

Things are stepping up a notch – we’re now just a few short months away from publication of my debut novel. There’s a tonne of activity happening behind the scenes, starting with choosing a title for my debut novel. It’s done. Phew!

I put the title out to loads of people for feedback, including a survey of the short-listed titles. It was a close call between two of the entries, and I lost sleep over which one to choose. It turns out that nailing down a title for your debut novel is more difficult than writing the book in the first place!

Massive shout-out to everyone who commented or helped brainstorm the title, or who completed the survey. I considered all feedback very carefully, and apologies if I didn’t choose your favourite – there was so much to ponder (including my editor’s feedback, as she knows the industry best). In the end, the title I chose was;

“The Ghost-Mothers”

Congrats if this was your favourite option!

In other news, I have submitted the manuscript to my copy editor, so the book is on track for publishing in late March. In case you’re new to this blog, a little about the book;

The Ghost-Mothers takes us on a humorous, magical romp through the ages of Australia’s longest-running women’s magazine, with ‘fairy ghost-mothers’ springing to life from magazines past.

It is very loosely inspired by my time at The Australian Women’s Weekly.

Click on over to my previous post if you’d like a more detailed plot reveal. Oh and if you’re entering the Kindle competition, good luck!

Yours in creativity,

Jackie
