How to make a proper Title and description

[Glacial]

I want to be able to catch readers attention but I want to not be too blunt about the story itself.

 

[CupcakeNinja]

write it with personality, like a person describing the book to you instead of just a statement of facts.
i always try to write mine like that, at least. I cant stand things like "The kingdom of X borders Y and blah blah the church is on a crusade againstblah blah join the MC as he tries to escape their clutches and blah blah friendship." Like just information, you know?

oh, so like the protagonist describing it?

oh, so like the protagonist describing it?

Basically, yeah. I wrote mine like this:

Spoiler

Tell me, what does one do when they discover they were reincarnated into an Otome game as the villainess’ playboy older brother?
Of course I had always been aware of my situation as a reincarnated person, but it was only when my sister’s engagement to the Crown Prince was announced that I finally encountered a piece of my first life after all these years.
I thought, “Hey, this is exactly the same situation as that Otome game I was playing that day!”
But wait. My sister becomes the evil, hated villainess whose fate doesn’t ends well at all, you say? As if I’d allow that!
The protagonist wants to steal your man and ruin you? Too arrogant! This daddy(brother) will mess her up good!
I’ll completely crush all the people that want to harm my precious, adorable little sister!
Just fall in love with the Crown Prince and achieve your happiness, my sweet sister!
This is such a story.
…Except my sister seems to be a blooming bro-con? And the heroine keeps looking at me funny…

Well, it's just a very basic over view of the general story, no details. It's not a comprehensive synopsis, but I think simple is best.

or you can write it like this

Spoiler

Aiden Alexander Maddox was never what you'd call a 'good guy'. With his hobbies including, but not limited to, clubbing, drinking, fighting, doing drugs, and occasionally accidentally seducing another man's wife and snorting said drugs off their asses, he was far from perfect. But being punted into an alternate universe after dying and told by a mysterious biker gang-looking 'Angel' that he's got to assume a new name--not to mention a new body--and live in a completely alien world full of 'roided up super teens with powers straight out of a novel... well, it's hard to say he deserved all that.

The worst part? Trying to survive the women. Old habits die hard. Sadly, he dies quite easily.

It's not from the MCs perspective but it tells you alot about himself and establishes a setting.
Either way they are full of personality. So they will catch interest.

These are from my stories, full honesty, but these are just based on how I've seen other stories tell their synopsis

 

[AliceShiki]

As far as title goes, I'd say you should try aiming for 3-5 words, and that the title should give the basic idea of what the novel is about... Try being simplistic with your title.

Synopsis is a bit harder... But uhn... Well, give a rough gist of what your novel is about while also making sure to put something there that may hook your reader... That's the rough gist of it, but it's easier said than done... >.>

I had a few people confuse me when I asked this. So for the synopsis basically go simple and straight to the point while adding a hook like a question in the end. This is to make the readers curious. Everyone makes it differently though.

For the title I agree with Alice, go for 3-5 words that explain your story a bit.

 

[Herz]

I am a fan of short titles. As mentioned above, a few words that sound cool and point toward the idea of your story are enough. The Japanese summary-type titles are not my cup of tea. There is a summary, and there is a title; no need to combine them.

The summary should be catchy but be careful with the spoilers. It is best if it is short (maybe 50-100 words). And I, personally, don't like it if there is speech included in the summary.

Description like the Synopsis on Scribblehub? Write just a tad bit of info of what the story is about or start off, but not too much that you summarized the whole story in there and makes it seem like one already knows the story so would be pointless to read further. (Unless you know your target audience knows that kind of story and they'll flock to it anyways). Main thing is to write a hook into your synopsis on Scribblehub.

Title - well that depends. I came from reading more western YA novels so I like short titles. I don't like how my titles are too long (I feel once over five words it's a mouthful, esp depending on how worded the title); it also depends who you cater your audience to, a long title may pull them off from reading it. But on Scribblehub this may be different as they cater to more eastern themed or inspired novels and it seems like a lot have long titles, some of which outright state what the story is and get popular. So depends on preference.

Scribblehub Synopsis/Wattpad Story Info/Physical Book Back Cover: Write something to hook your reader to check out more of your story.

Titles: try not overly too long but maybe decent length.

Firstly,

Do not make it long, unless you are already famous and know for certainty that people would read that wall of text rather than skipping it.

Ask questions

And, give a bit of past,

And your intentions, do mention where you wanna lead this to

I want to change my title now, but i think that would confuse people since it has no cover.

I changed my title and cover. Though I am still starting out here in SH

 

[Glacial]

I like my title to much atm. Synopsis could maybe be improved but I'd rather focus energy towards chapters.
