Guide to Creating Title / Synopsis/ Cover

📌WORK TITLE

Create a short title and describe the main conflicts and selling points of the story. Avoid titles that are too cool/poetic or too long.

A more suitable selling point is placed in the title of the book:

①. Theme selling points: reincarnation, time travel, ceo

②. The selling points of the profession: mafia, doctor, chairman of the osis, chairman of the martial sect...

③. The selling point of the character setting: young wife, sweet wife, grumpy boyfriend, second generation rich man

Good title example (female novel):

Forced Dating with the King of Movies

The title of the book is popular and easy to understand, the selling point contained is the setting of the main male character. It can be known that the main character of the man is the king of movies, handsome, and successful. Matches with the psychology of the types of women who pursue/ngefans with the artist, can very well entice them to click and read.

Good title example (male novel):

The Rise of the Legendary Clan

The selling point contained in the title of the book: rise. It is known that the main line of the article is the resurrection, the journey of changing destiny. Make the reader think that there must be a lot of conflict and victory in it, the atmosphere is lifted, with this attracts the reader to read.

------------

📌CHAPTER TITLE

Chapter titles should be accompanied by chapter numbers, following the correct chapter title format:

Chapter XX Chapter Title

Example:

Chapter 1 My New Husband

Chapter 2 First Night

This is so that the reader can find and remember exactly the number of chapters he has read; the chapter title also needs to describe directly the points that can interest the reader in the content of the chapter.

------------

📌SINOPSIS

- Do’s:

The synopsis should not be too short, but also not too long and long-winded.. Use simple, concise and clear language.

In addition, do not describe the characteristics of the character too much. Just a brief description of the main character.

Also, place important points or outlines of the plot and content of the story, selling points, and, as well as a brief overview of the interaction of characters in the story (can be a quote from a work that can be “pancingan” to attract readers and to know the big picture of your story).

And do not forget, to include a synopsis cover in the form of a curious question sentence about the continuation and end of your story conflict.

Ideally, a good synopsis consists of 150 – 300 words.

donts - Donts:

Avoid writing a synopsis of just one or two sentences or no synopsis (just greet the reader). It is still allowed to greet the reader, but not too long.
