A Lulu of a Title
File this under time sink: The Lulu Title Scorer. It will tell you whether your book's title has a chance of becoming a bestseller based on supposedly scientific techniques of analysis. Ummm, yeah. Okay.
Well, apparently, it actually works: To Kill a Mockingbird got a near-perfect score. Could this be because it was part of the database that was used to create the program? Maybe we're just miffed because two of our working titles scored only 10% and 50%.
So, go ahead, check your own. Just please don't blame us when you find out that what you thought was a genius title is actually a howler.
