TUNE TITLE CONTEST

Hey, TUNE readers, I need your help!

TUNE, Book 1 will be published by First Second Books in the fall later this year, and they want a secondary title for each volume. For example, “BONE, Book 1: Out of Boneville” or “Lord of the Rings, Book 2: The Two Towers,” etc. I suggested “Praxis and Allies” for the first book, but my editor didn’t like it. So I’ve been racking my brains for a better title, but it’s been really difficult. This is where you come in. You may have a chance to title the book and see it emblazoned on the cover of every single copy of TUNE, Book 1 for the rest of eternity!

UPDATE: So many fantastic entries already. Big thank you to those that have entered so far! Keep ‘em coming!

Book 1 covers chapters 1-10, so the title should be appropriate for that span in the story. Good luck!

RULES: Enter via tunebook1title(at)yahoo(dot)com. You can enter as many titles as you like. If the winning title is entered by multiple contestants, the earliest received entry will be selected as the winner. And feel free to post your entries in the comments section below for discussion!

PRIZES:
Winner: A signed copy of TUNE, Book 1: “Insert You Awesome Title Here”, an original drawing by Derek Kirk Kim of any 2 characters of the winner’s choosing, and a special thank you credit in the book.
Two runner ups: A signed copy of TUNE, Book 1: “Insert You Awesome Title Here.”

DEADLINE: January 30, 2011

DISCLAIMER: There’s no guarantee of a winner as none of the entries might be appropriate, but I have faith in the whip-smart TUNE community to come up with something awesome and clever! But even if I end up using a title of my own, the prizes will still be awarded to my top three favorite entries.
