Where do you come up with your epic titles? Is it like, before finishing the book, after finishing the book, in the middle? HOW???! I mean, SIX OF CROWS. SIX OF CROWS! Like, your titles make the book sound awesome before even opening the book! HOW?
Leigh Bardugo
Aw, that's very kind!
With titles, I find they either arrive immediately or they're a horrible, slogging nightmare.
Deciding on the title for Shadow and Bone was a pain. You can read about it here: http://www.publishingcrawl.com/2012/0...
Siege and Storm and Ruin and Rising fell into place almost immediately.
My friend Morgan came up with the title for Six of Crows. Originally, the book was called The Dregs and when we decided we needed something new that focused on the crew instead of Kaz's gang, I sent a crazed email to some friends and we all brainstormed. Morgan was the obvious winner and there's a character in Six of Crows with her last name :)

Hi, I come from Polish and I just finished reading "Ruin and Rising". I am delighted! I love your book and the Grishaverse and the characters. I wonder if in your new book will be a hero similar to Nikolai? I mean, he is so brilliant and funny and charming. I love the humor in your books so I wonder if we could be expected in "Six of the Crows".
