OWN YOUR NAME (The Creator's Edition)

📘 OWN YOUR NAME: The Creator's Playbook for Choosing, Testing, and Legally Protecting Your Book Title or Pen Name

Your book's title is its very first sales pitch. Are you sure yours works?

Many authors spend years polishing their manuscripts, only to rush the title or select a pen name that actively works against them in the marketplace.

Whether you are aiming for commercial shelf space, navigating a genre shift, or trying to protect your privacy, the names you choose will define your author career.

OWN YOUR NAME is a comprehensive, low-stress guide that strips away the confusion and hands you a practical blueprint for selecting, stress-testing, and legally safeguarding your literary assets.

🎯 What’s Inside:

• The Art & Science of a Great Title: Learn how to engineer titles that turn heads using the curiosity factor, rhythm, and phonetics.
• The Cover & Audio Test: Step-by-step guidance on testing how your title integrates visually into cover typography and how it passes the crucial "podcast test" for spoken word marketing.
• Genre Coding & Demographics: Learn how to decode your market so your title instantly signals the right genre to readers—with specific deep dives into titling for different age groups and crafting a resonant memoir title.
• The Pen Name Blueprint: Discover why you might need a pseudonym, how to select a highly marketable one, and how to weigh the real-world pros and cons of writing under a split identity.
• The Author’s Legal Survival Guide: Clear, jargon-free explanations of real legal issues affecting writers—including copyrighting, trademarking, protecting your privacy, defending against libel suits, using real brand names safely, and avoiding "passing off" or misrepresentation.
• Real-World Case Studies: Learn from history with insightful breakdowns of famous author and brand re-brandings.

🛠 Exclusive Practical Appendices Included:
