I have in mind a sequel, about Alexia's best friend, and a prequel, about Artex, Alexia's romantic interest in this book.<br /><br />This book is about Alexia and is set on earth and in the Land of Imagining. The prequel is only in the Land of Imagining, and for the most part, the sequel is only on Earth. The reason why I didn't write the prequel first is because I want the reader's first journey to that world to be through the eyes of someone who had never been there before. I'm rambling but hopefully this makes some sense.<br /><br />And having Alexia's name in the title might be a good idea. Then I could incorporate the main character's name for the other books too.<br /><br />Hmm... How about Alexia's Imagination?Nicole Zoltackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464800543376449290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955575393345766322.post-22218054691661143762010-07-30T14:14:00.272-04:002010-07-30T14:14:00.272-04:00I was going to suggest just 'Imagining' bu...I was going to suggest just 'Imagining' but looks like Cherie beat me to it. In a cool font, it would make a great YA title.<br /><br />But are you thinking 'series' for this? In that case, I'd go with the long title of 'Alexia and the Land of Imagining'.Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137029820905252503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955575393345766322.post-78010228768554189612010-07-29T17:16:46.995-04:002010-07-29T17:16:46.995-04:00Those are some good suggestions, Cherie, thanks!
...Those are some good suggestions, Cherie, thanks!<br /><br />I like The Land of Imagining too, Aubrie, but one agent thought it sounded more MG than YA.

I like "Alexia and the Land of Imagining," but it is a long title, even if it works.Cherie Reichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16663147386014122939noreply@blogger.com
