I thought I’d take a break from series historical matters today, LOL, and instead bring to you a fun poll!
WhiteFire Publishing is launching a line of books for younger readers, as I announced last summer. We’ve now selected our launching titles, sent out contracts, and are selecting illustrators where appropriate… All very exciting stuff!
But one item yet remains.

Naming the line!

We’d like to choose something that’ll sound great for that vast array of ages–not too young for the YA line, but still appealing to kids too.
When considering ideas, we liked something that hinted at either the white or the fire in the main line…but we’re also in the process of acquiring another imprint, so we were also toying with names that would tie in with those. These options do those things, but we want to make sure they evoke the right images and ideas in readers’ minds too! (For instance, WhiteAsh might make you think of ashes…whereas we’d be meaning the tree. Would a tree logo help ground the “correct” idea or not?)
If you have a second, please vote! And if you happen to have a young reader in your family, we’d love their opinions too!
