You are absolutely correct. Good example. I had a story out and it was a very good story, but no one would touch it. It was the title that turned people off. It was called Body Lice. As soon as I changed the title to The Kiss of Avu N'geelub it got the attention it deserved. The title is the main thing that a reader will use to decide if they want to read it or not.

A second tip is to be active and comment on stories from other authors. We love feedback and the attention and most of the time, not all, but most of the time, that involvement is remembered and reciprocated.
