Think your book title is brilliant? Think again. 

In this week’s episode, ghostwriting powerhouse Maggie Mills pulls back the curtain on what really makes a nonfiction title grab attention, and sell books. 

After decades behind the scenes helping authors shine, she’s revealing why some titles flop and others spark instant curiosity (even from across a crowded shelf).

Whether you’re stuck on a working title, torn between clever and clear, or wondering if you should trademark your signature method, Maggie shares the exact strategies she uses to help authors turn words into assets.
