Book Title Scorer

How the Book Title Scorer Works

Our title scoring algorithm evaluates your book title across five dimensions that correlate with Amazon click-through rate, based on publishing industry research and reader behavior analysis. Each dimension is scored 1-10, giving you a total score out of 50.

What Makes a Great Book Title?

Based on publishing research and cover testing principles, titles work best when they:

• Signal genre immediately — readers decide in under 2 seconds whether a book is "for them"
• Create emotional tension — power words like "forbidden," "shattered," or "stolen" trigger curiosity
• Stay memorable — alliteration, rhythm, and brevity help readers recall your title
• Fit Amazon's display — titles over 60 characters get truncated in search results
