AI Tool Of The Day 🛠️

ChatGPT Prompt: “Title Wizard”
Agonizing over a title can sometimes be just as draining as writing the book itself.
Ultimately, a great title can mean the difference between getting picked up/clicked or being left on the shelf/scrolled past.
Sad, but true.
I like to think of crafting a title as being similar to sculpting.
To begin with, all you’ve got is a block of ideas.
As you slowly chip away, you eventually unveil a title so good that you could argue it was always there just waiting to be found.
But the chipping process can be painful.
So, I created a ChatGPT prompt to serve as a sculpting tool. A prompt to take my jumbled ideas and shape them into a list of memorable titles.
Use the prompt template below when title brainstorming.
Fill in the blanks you feel would be most relevant or helpful - remember, you don’t need to use all of them.
Then, copy and paste your completed prompt into ChatGPT and watch what happens.
The Prompt Template 🤖:
"Let's work together to generate a list of attention-grabbing book title ideas for my upcoming book. The book title should [insert desired effect on the reader, e.g. create curiosity, evoke emotion, convey the main theme]. Please use the following information to help you come up with suggestions:
Book genre: [insert]
Target audience: [insert]
Main theme or subject of the book: [insert]
Desired tone or style for the title: [e.g. mysterious, humorous, dramatic, informative]
Any key elements, characters, or settings in the book: [insert]
Any specific words or phrases to be included or avoided: [insert]
Any existing book titles or authors to draw inspiration from: [insert]"
Example 💻️ :
I asked ChatGPT to generate a list of title ideas for a sci-fi story after providing some context.
One input parameter I usually don’t include is the maximum or preferred word count.
If you wanted to add this, definitely do so.
Zoom in if you have to.
Prompt 📣 :

Response 📣:

There are some legitimately impressive ideas here.
“Recollection Brokers” stands out to me. I could either choose it in its current state or ask ChatGPT to iterate and list a few similar examples.
Either way, it gets the juices flowing.
Sculpting has never been easier.
Enjoy.
