I need a good title for memoirs?
I am helping my grandma (shes 93!) self publish her memoirs. She has been writing these for almost 3 years now and we want them in a nice solid hardcover book for all the relatives to buy and to preserve her stories. Now we are in the process of publishing them and we can't think of a title. The memoirs are her whole life story. From her childhood, through her work (and my grandfathers work) and their travels. She also has chapters about our family and their stories. She mentions coincidences that have occurred and everything she can recall from her life. We need a good title. Something that incorporates love and travel and work. Thanks for any suggestions.

Which title should I use for my memoir as a circus clown?
• Bump A Nose (amateur clown jargon; rather like actors' "Break a leg.") • First of May (circus lingo; a novice performer or worker in their first season.) • Gaucho (circus lingo; someone not born into circus life who takes a circus job.) • Horse Opry (circus lingo; jokingly meaning 'any circus'.)
I Should Have Kissed Her More. Thus Alexander King titled his autobiography.I have always loved this, perhaps because I feel the same way about my own life.Mr. King also produced several other memorable titles, such as May This House Be Safe from Tigers, Mine Enemy Grows Older, and Is There Life After Birth.Definitely an individualist and an iconoclast, in my opinion Mr. King is greatly under-recognized and under-appreciated.How could I complete with any of these for my own memoir? I do not plan to write one, for I doubt that many people would be interested in reading it. However, I do have many memories that I treasure, and a vast number of people whom I recall most fondly.If I ever were to write such a book, perhaps I would title it Underachiever.
Circus Names?!?
Cute drawings. I own a sideshow, but I mostly just use my real name. But, we did have a girl work for us doing fire-eating and straightjacket escape that went by "Hannah Bel" because it was implied that her character was a cannibal (a play on Hannibal Lecter). It sounds like you want something cute, but dark. What are some of the characteristics of the character? Will she be naive and innocent, or cunning and scheming? Some "innocent" names are things like "Mary" or "Virginia". Darker names for someone cunning are things like "Lydia" and "Desdemona". Good luck with your comic!

August 12, 2009 - It's mid-month and that means it's solicit time! Dark Horse has released artwork and information for its books that will ship to stores beginning November 2009. All text and images are provided by Dark Horse. Dawn breaks over a sprawling forest in Cretaceous North America—a dawn far colder than its peaceful, forest-dwelling herbivores are used to. The seasons are changing, and it's time for the able-bodied to migrate south. But the trek is a dangerous one even when massive herds band together, for while there is safety in numbers, numbers also draw attention, and the carnivores are moving in! This journey may not last long when the first hunter arrives, a ferocious tyrannosaurus rex who has her sights set on a young triceratops! - Ricardo Delgado—a prolific development and storyboard artist who has worked on such hit films as Men in Black, The Incredibles, WALL-E, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and the Matrix series—returns once again to his critically acclaimed, Eisner Award–winning comic series, Age of Reptiles! Can an android dream? After waking from what appears to be just that, the android Sereda struggles with the idea that he may be more damaged than he originally thought. Still, whether it's simply his programming or a newly found free will, Sereda is hell bent on effecting the rescue of the woman whose voice brought him down into the bewildering maze of a seemingly endless necropolis. Most of the surviving planetary prospectors are willing to follow him into the labyrinth, but there are two major obstacles to the rescue mission: a horde of marauding xenomorphs, and the man who shot Sereda, who isn't about to let a damaged synthetic lead the other survivors anywhere. From the bleeding edge of terror, Aliens returns to comics featuring the talented creative team of writer John Arcudi (The Mask, B.P.R.D., Doom Patrol), penciller Zach Howard (Shaun of the Dead, Outer Orbit), and inker Mark Irwin (X-Men: Age of Apocalypse, Batman).

And I am thrilled to go there." —John Landis, filmmaker (An American Werewolf in Paris, Michael Jackson's ThrillerStay tuned early next week as we bring you DC and Marve
I don't care for chapter titles except in textbooks. A memoir by definition is about a specific time in a life. There is usually a challenge involved, and the author emerges from that time transformed. How is that time separated into "chapters?" Where are the lines drawn?Certainly the writing is divided; a memoir is not a 300 page continuous essay. The reader needs the breaks, and the writer must know where to put the breaks. But there is no need to label things in terms of chapter titles, especially if they are cutesy, unnecessary, Department of Redundancy Department sort of things. I have a piece that is rather long, and I broke it up with headings of the city names where those events took place. I thought this was more efficient than writing "then I packed up and moved to . . . " By using the headings, I was saying "Now we are in New Orleans," etc. But as for traditional chapter headings, I don't find them necessary. Next time you're in the bookshop, look how memoirs are set up. You'll find that helpful.
