Do I Change The Title Of My Book?
« on: January 18, 2008, 11:53 AM »

   I am presently writing a motivational book that is divinely inspired. I 'm working towards making it an international stuff. The issue at stake is that when I visited amazon.com, I noticed that a famous black american author has a book with the title the same as mine. I don't know if I should change my title but this title is what was divinely revealed to me. Can't we have two great books by different authors with the same title?

ask the spirit of God to help u with the names.

my own suggestion is that you give it a similar name but one with perhaps  change of clauses or thesaures.

@ Poster,
The answer is yes. There can be two great books with identical names. There are many books which share the same title. On the downside however, you should be prepared to have your book boosting up the sales of the other one with the same name as there will be some people who buy the other one when intending to buy yours and vice versa (this can happen when they do not know or remember the name of the author).
