Karen asked Katie McGarry:

I beyond love all your books. How did you get to decide the title for each of them? Did you decide the title when you finished writing or did you already have the title in mind before starting the writing process? Thank you so much!

Katie McGarry Hi Karen,

Want to know a secret? I stink at titles. :-)

The only titles I came up with and got to keep are Red at Night and Breaking the Rules. Otherwise, my fabulous publisher has come up with the titles. They are fantastic at figuring out what will grab people's attention with titles and the covers of the books.

I do try attempt to title my books. When I do, it's usually when I'm 3/4 of the way finished writing the novel or at the end.

Thank you for the question!

Katie
