Working Titles

I asked Karen Joy Fowler about her newest novel BOOTH. Here's what she said. "BOOTH was the working title. I imagined my editor and agents would want a new one, but they didn't; they thought BOOTH was strong. The issue for me was always that it gave the impression the book is about John Wilkes, but he was not the only Booth so it still seems fair."
And I'm still thinking about working titles.

Swerve

Pamela Redford Russell
I swerved from sitcom to historical fiction. The Mary Tyler Moore Show 5th Season 1975 to THE WOMAN WHO LOVED JOHN WILKES BOOTH (GP Putnam 1978)
Mary Richards to Mary Surratt. What a swerve.
