I have thought about this for weeks seeing that this blog was weeks ago. <br /><br />The tagline that HIT me last night just before I went to bed is:<br /><br />Speculative Fiction adventures from around the world and beyond<br /><br />What do you think? <br /><br />I think my romance womens lit would be something along the lines of:<br /><br />Womens fiction that addresses the hard topics. <br /><br />My paranormal? hmmmmm thats a hard one. Probably along the lines of:<br /><br />A vampire world with a twist. OR <br />Not your ordinary vampires.C.

For example, I think the tagline, "Scriptures well taught" works great for my first two books. But my third manuscript I am wrapping up is not about scriptures--so what do I do?

I am working on a preteen fantasy novel and have children’s stories I want to get back to editing and writing. I want a tag line that is positive and implying adventure, magic, fun and fantasy to cover a variety of books.Susan G.

I like that you're writing a book about learning disabilities.<br /><br />Janette--I would include humor in your tagline because you're so good at writing humor. Maybe something like: Fiction that Tickles Your Funny Bone or Fiction with a Laugh or Laughter is the Best Medicine--you know, something way better than those that incorporate your humor.Rebecca Talleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01969923131001170254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457448853740094441.post-23691662423225691232009-12-01T14:07:39.402-07:002009-12-01T14:07:39.402-07:00What a great topic.

For my emails when My Fair Godmother came out I used: Find some magic, but that seems to be a well used tagline, doesn't it?

After trying several out, googling them, and rolling them around on my tongue, I came up with:<br /><br />Fiction that bridges cultures.<br /><br />My first novel certainly fits in the multicultural category, and the one I'm working on now focuses on the culture of the learning disabled trying to get along in so-called "normal" society.<br /><br />TanyaTanya Parker Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604769216009443552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457448853740094441.post-66819987052832374012009-12-01T12:20:31.166-07:002009-12-01T12:20:31.166-07:00Susan--I like it.

Jeff Savage, who writes MG fantasy, has a tagline, "Find Your Magic," which directly relates to his chracters finding their own magic inside themselves. I would guess from your tagline that your characters find that life is magical in some specific way. <br /><br />Ali- definitely tells me what you write. I like it. And, DD would certainly transcend the ordinary fantasy story, right?<br /><br />Anyone else?Rebecca Talleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01969923131001170254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457448853740094441.post-2296864362899863862009-12-01T11:06:27.094-07:002009-12-01T11:06:27.094-07:00Thank you for addressing taglines as I have been c...Thank you for addressing taglines as I have been curious.
