Streetcar Named Haywire?

[Tracy]

Since my book has a Blanche DuBois theme running throughout it, and since the story takes place in San Francisco, a city renowned for its streetcars, how does "Streetcar Named Haywire" sound? Would there be legal trouble from Tennessee Williams' estate ahead?

Can't copyright titles.

[Tracy]

Thanks, Lisa. I'm running with it.

[Lois]

Lisa's right. Can't copyright titles, and wordplay on titles is fun. Go for it! Lois

[Bob Kellogg]

It suggests a humorous book.

Oh, I love your title! Definitely - go for it!!!

And, really? You can't copyright titles? Yea! When I told a friend the title I wanted to use for my WIP, she said it sounded familiar to her and that I should research it because it might already be used for a book. The title I'm thinking of is "Fatal Creations." It's a detective novel about a serial killer who is an artist. So, if you can't copyright titles, then I can plan to go with this!!! :-D

Pat, "Fatal Creations" is an awesome title! It would really make me want to check out the book.
