Ok friends, I promised to keep you in the loop with the book deal I'm currently traveling through.
(all book newsworthy posts are HERE)
(all book newsworthy posts are HERE)
Part of the application process is offering a few different names and subtitles for what to actually call it.
I need to fire a list of ideas off by Thursday, so this one's gonna fly quick!
And then I thought of all of you. Who else better to ask?!?
As a thank-you for your awesome help,
I have a little giveaway I'm offering you....
Yup, I'm gonna throw on my movie star glasses and sign one of these babies and get it your way. :)
There I am!!!
But trust me, there's so much more in this magazine. You'll be sold the moment you open it.
~ How to win: ~
All you have to do is throw in at least one book title idea in the comments and you're in!
Facebook, tweet or blog about the Book Naming giveaway and
comment to enter again!
Trust me. I could use all the help possible.
Offer 5 or more brainstorming ideas and
comment to enter again!
Yes please yes please yes please
So... think big! And lots. :)
And hey, if you win and you already HAVE Flea Market Style... I have another surprise magazine option for you I think you will love, hot off the press! Although I'm not in it, I most certainly could be! It's called Flea Market Garden and it's wild with outdoor junk. :)
Back to the book:
~ Here's what to consider: ~
Title:
- catchy, and needs to hit home with my style
Subtitle:
- subtitle can be used to better explain the book's actual content
ie: The unique, easy and affordable way to decorate your home.
- is the term 'junk' cool or too odd for the general public?
- do you think ALL my content is funky if funky is used?
Winner will be chosen by random.org.
Your email is required in either your blog or comment in order to be deemed a winner.
Want even more fun? Run on over to Miss Mustard Seed's blog. She's also in the mag and we wanted to celebrate the features with the same giveaway! Because that's just what blog buddies do. :) Her post speaks of some major excitement that just transpired and she wants you to tell her your dream in order to enter. Good luck there too!
Thanks so much, friends! Let the brainstorming begin! And I'll let you know the outcome when the dust settles again.
Off I go to write up abit more of a storm over the next couple evenings... huff puff huff puff....

I agree on branding your "Funky Junk". How about Funky Junk: Decorating..., Funky Junk: Your Guide to..., oh, crud, I need to think about it some more.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I agree that it should be called something to do with Funky Junk. How about this:
ReplyDeleteFunky Junk:
Turning junky finds into one-of-a-kinds!
I think what you already have will work great but you asked for ideas so here is mine...
ReplyDeleteFunky Junk Style.... Turning trash into a treasure one board at a time.
A plethora of pickins from Funky Junk
ReplyDeleteDefinitely keep "Funky Junk", a subtitle... making someone else's junk into your treasure
ReplyDeleteOr "Funky Junk Style: Weathered and Rusted Treasures"
ReplyDeleteHow about...
ReplyDelete1- Funky Junk Finds...Welcome to My World of Rust, Recycling and Relics
2- Funky Junk(ie)...Style with a Smile

ReplyDelete"Funky Junk Interiors" is your signature and a must for the title.
ReplyDeleteSubtitles could be FJI for Everyday Style

FJI - Rusted, Recycled, Repurposed
FJI - The Old is Stylin Again
FJI - From Dumpster to Design
Cindy at drj1s@sti.net
Here's my second entry for five titles. I'm excited about the chance to win Flea Market Style but more excited to read Funky Junk Interiors... You go girl!
ReplyDeleteCindy at drj1s@sti.net
'Memoires of a Junquette' - can't think of a subtitle yet but I will...
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!
ReplyDeleteFunky Junk Interiors:from rust to rustic
I agree that you should use Funky Junk Interiors as the title & maybe incorporate a sub-title such as.....
ReplyDeleteFunky Junk Interiors
~ Rekindling Junk from Trash to Treasure
~ Transforming Junk into Repurposed Home Decor
~ Re-Funkifying Junk One Rusty Treasure at a Time
~ Inspiration for Repurposing & Recycling Junk
~ Unique, Eclectic & Inspiring Ideas for Junk

oh donna - good luck...the title is only the beginning! speaking from experience (my book, the salvage studio came out in 2009) the publisher had strong input on the title..but agree with all the other comments - you need to keep your brand out front...

ReplyDelete'Funky Junk to Fun Decorating: Turning all things funky into fun for your home!'
I can't wait until your book comes out!
-Brittany
www.mommyscornerdiy.blogspot.com
I don't want to read comments before I leave the title that comes to my mind for your book:
ReplyDeleteFrom Trash to Treasure~The Funky Junk Way!
Don't change your name! It clearly defines your style. It's you. And it's obviously working!
ReplyDeletefreestyle: from funky junk to a million bucks
ReplyDeleteI also believe that you have established yourself with the title "Funky Junk", (and I do think it fits you well!). So here's two possible ideas: "Funky Junk Inspirations by Donna" or "Everyday Funky Junkin' with Donna". As this makes the title a bit more personable, a bit more You!
ReplyDeleteSubtitle ideas:
FJID or EFJD: The passion of collecting the rarities along lives pathways and using them in your everyday life
FJID or EFJD: Creating eclectic elements for the body, home & soul
FJID or EFJD: Truly turning trash into such priceless treasures
EJID or EFJD: There is no right/There is no wrong, the beauties in the eye of the beholder
Thank You and the Best of Luck!

That's all I "got" this early in the morning. I am laughing at some of them as I reread them. Ha! Hope some of that at least gets your brain moving. It may take a lot of so-so ones to get to the best one. Do you remember being in school, learning creative writing? Try the bubble technique (if you haven't yet). On a piece of blank paper, write your name, well "Funky Junk Interiors" and circle it. Then draw lines out all over the place (like sun rays) as you think of words that describe your style. Always works for me. :) Best to you! How exciting!!!

I haven't read any of the comments...yet. My first thought was why would you not name it Funky Junk that is what we all know and love your for. You aready made your name "FAMOUS" with your fabulous style. I say don't try and re-invent the wheel on this one, unless you are decorating with it...lol.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Donna... take a deep breath and savour the moment.

I too think you should keept Funky Junk Interiors. FJI - One mans junk is this woman's decor
ReplyDeleteJust for the record? I don't wish to change it up at all. But this is a necessary step all books travel through to ensure it's a sellable item to the general masses. YOU know me as Funky Junk just fine, but what about Jill down the street that doesn't read blogs? Mass appeal is the deal with this step.
ReplyDeleteThank-you everyone!!!

Keep "Funky Junk" in the title -- not because your blog-buddies know you by that name, but because it really describes what the book is about, even to someone down the street who may not may not know of you yet.
ReplyDeleteHow 'bout FUNKY JUNK INTERIORS....where everything Old is New again!
or to play on another popular title:
FUNKY JUNK INTERIORS...the-Repurpose Driven Life.
What ever you decide, I'm sure it will be wonderful.
I think you should keep "funky junk" so people will know it is you. As for the subtitle...how about junktastic creations from formerly loved items.

Ok girlie - how about something like:
ReplyDeleteJUNK RULES: Bringing HOME vintage style...the FUNKY JUNK INTERIORS way!
(the corresponding graphics could be rulers, yard sticks, tape measures etc but in a light setting to appeal to the masses who might not know about how cool junk is YET)
or
*JUNK RULES: The FUNKY JUNK INTERIORS guide to incorporating cool salvage and vintage style into YOUR home today.
*JUNK RULES: Renew, refresh, rebuild with FUNKY JUNK INTERIORS.
I liked Freckled Laundry's Funky Junk Handbook. That shows that there are really good instructions inside. The title has to appeal to the many people who don't read DIY blogs, like all my 20 something friends, college kids, and semi-handy people on a budget. Or even handy people without a budget. The ideas and designs are so revolutionary that they may appeal to a wide audience.
ReplyDeleteSo: Funky Junk: A Revolutionary Approach to Improving Your Space
Decorating Funky Junk Style. I like your name, it's catchy & makes you want to know what you're all about; at least that's how it struck me. Good luck & congrats on being in the magazine.

I think keeping the "Funky Junk" in the title some how is the way to go. Maybe "Get YOUR Funky Junk On!" - The guide to getting your own Funky Junk Style.

ReplyDeleteI will echo many in saying I really think you have to keep your name ~ Funky Junk Interiors ~ then come up with a fun subtitle. You have built to big of a following with your name so your book should reflect that! I think if I was cruising down the book aisle and saw your name I would screech to a halt to see if it was you. I cannot wait to see what you choose. xo
