    Shorten it. “The Woman in the Window” works for me. Unfortunaly it’s already been used, and probably meany times.

    “The Woman in the Train Window” would be unique, though not flow as smoothly.

    Katy has a valid concern. Both of those titles are over-long and derivative. She needs to distill her novel down to its essence, and name it…I married a Bignose.

    How good can her book be when she comes up with those awful titles?

    She didn’t think of the title of her book and already publishers are fighting to print it? Don’t tell Adam.

    Maybe the title can be Adam’s contribution

    You could make her a James Bond villain and call it “The Girl with the Peanut Butter Balls”

    “The girl with the” title would get shot down due to trademark infringement.

    Next to creating believable but interesting names, choosing a good title is probably the hardest thing — I can’t do either which is a major reason I’m still unpublished.

    I would leave the title to the Marketing Team of the publisher if they have one. Of course I would want final say as well, but that’s what they do best.

    There’s a bidding war over a novel without a title?
