I have been going back and forth about changing my novel’s title after another author published The Scarlett Heir. No hurt feelings, just not wanting to confused future readers.

Why did I choose The Crimson Heir, you ask? I chose it because the main character has wine red hair, and the series would also have color themes in their titles. But, I do already have another title in mind.

In my novel, most queens have a common name, such as Dowager Queen, Golden Queen…and The Pretender Queen

Princess Tania is fighting to retake her father’s kingdom that is being lorded over by a tyrant prince. So she is accused of being a Pretender Queen.

Should I change it? Or leave it be? Which title is more impactful or memorable?

The Crimson Heir or The Pretender Queen
