Sadie Fans - we need your help!
We’re considering a title change for Sadie McGrady, Leading Lady. Good titles help clearly convey the story’s plot to potential readers. If you haven’t read our story, you might assume the book is about acting - despite the fun play on words describing our young leader. Take a look at the sample mock ups below and vote for your favorites. Help us decide which title works best by replying with your favorites! The design may be changed, so focus more on title wording.
Thanks for your help - stay tuned for the announcement of our publication date, coming soon!
Mary
