Can I Get Your Honest Take on a Book Title?

Hi all,

I’ve been working on my book title for weeks (maybe months!) and have read a lot about what makes a strong one. I think I’ve landed on a title that ticks most of the boxes — at least it makes sense to me.

The challenge is:

I’m not sure how it sounds to others.
It might be on the long side.

I even ran it through the AM Institute’s EMV Headline Analyser, and it scored 43%, which is decent, but I’d like to know how it lands with real people.

What’s the best way to properly test a book title? My personal network doesn’t know much about writing books, so I don’t think they’d give me the most useful feedback.

Thanks in advance, Alex
