: Re: Coming up with Chapter titles What are some of the criteria for a chapter title (In a fictional novel)? How deep should a chapter title be, what should it try to convey, and how important

Many literary greats have deep chapter titles. They can be as subtly deep as you want but their main purpose is to intrigue and give hints of what may come next. My advice would be to keep them obscure enough so that the chapter content is not too obvious before you read it. Think along the lines of TV series and the individual titles they give to episodes. Chapters contain themes, titles string the theme along. Don't be afraid to create your own style, I'm a big believer in not sticking to stuffy conventions that would be taught in an English class.
