Don’t Get Cutesy With Book Titles

I’d like to play with the words in my title, using Whole instead of Hole. Even though it will be grammatically incorrect, it implies a double meaning to readers.

I am afraid if people try to order it they will not know what to type in, or may misspell the real title. What should I do?


Unless you are a bestselling author with significant press, you should not use a play on words in your title, nor any intentional misspellings, nor any odd punctuation. Doing these things may make it too difficult for readers and some search engines to find your book.
