Social media, SEO, marketing and writingChapter Headings Can Stimulate Your Writing
While some novels don’t have any chapter headings, most nonfiction books make use of them.
Chapter headings can increase the sales of your book. Watch how many browsers and customers in bookstores skim through books, glancing at the chapter headings. Many will decide to buy a particular book if the chapter headings offer promise of good reading.
What is more important is the fact that well-written chapter headings stimulate your writing all through your book. Some will interest you more than others, but all of them act as signals. They tell what each chapter is about and what the reader is likely to find there.
Next time you are at a bookstore, thumb through some books to see for yourself which chapter headings stand out. You can then go home and think about a few possible chapter headings you might use for your new book. Don’t be afraid of stimulating your creative neurons– you may be pleasantly surprised by the results!
