And I look for who's written it as well, reading yours and Teresa's first of course:))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539691603325793063.post-919383832052346222015-05-10T08:39:47.525+01:002015-05-10T08:39:47.525+01:00@Kitty, my titles sometimes get changed too.

Sometimes I have to change them because the story changes, but I need something quite early on.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263765378083045973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539691603325793063.post-64950102747124700682015-05-09T17:11:18.296+01:002015-05-09T17:11:18.296+01:00Titles are very important, I can see why editors w...Titles are very important, I can see why editors would want to see them in the subject field. I'd be inclined to read on to anything a little quirky.

As well as indicating main theme and content, of course. If possible :-)<br />I was once told that the commonest title was 'Moving On.'

Do you do the same thing when emailing to My Weekly? I usually make the subject heading something like "Submission of Halloween/Christmas/summer Twist-in-the-Tale (1400 words)."<br /><br />I'm always very pleased when I think up a snappy title but they usually change it anyway!
