Thanks for sharing Simon. This is very interesting to know. Because as an illustrator, when the manuscript comes to me, it already comes with a Title (atleast so far).

I'm trying to recall whether any of mine had the title changed once the illustrator was already signed up...but I'm struggling to think of any!

Thanks Fiona 😊 They sure are! Do you ever have help with yours?

Often I have a working title that tends to stick because we all just get used to it. Poppy and the Blooms was originally Bloom and the publisher suggested the change. Took a while to get used to, but was a good call as I've since noticed loads of books called Bloom! : )
