I have been writing a book over the last couple of years. It is now in the final editing phases with the publisher. I’ll tell you more about it soon. I doGen The 10 Woman using computer (1) want your opinion on one aspect of it – the title.

The title I originally used was That’s Gotta Hurt: The Injuries That Changed Sports Forever. My agent and I switched it to That’s Gotta Hurt: The Injuries That Changed the Sports We Play and the Athletes Who Play Them. We made the change to land our publishing contract, thinking the new subtitle would make it clearer to the editors what the purpose of the book is.

I want to know which one you like better – seriously. Send me a message on Twitter or Facebook and let me know which one you think I should use. I would REALLY appreciate it!

Now let’s get to some other great books (and articles)!

Book I read this week: Writing Riches: Learn How to Boost Profits, Drive Sales and Master Your Financial Destiny With Results-Based Web Copy by Ray Edwards. If you want to write better copy for a sales page, get more traffic to your blog post with better headlines and much more, this book walks you through how to grab readers’ attention with your words.

Book I’m reading next week: Money Words: Easy-to-Use Copywriting & Marketing Secrets That Sell Anything to Anyone by Ray Edwards. I’m obviously in a copywriting phase. I think this is powerful information, and I’m trying to learn as much as I can.
