    Chapter names

    Discussion in 'Non-Fiction' started by MaximilianKidd, Feb 2, 2021.

    Hi,

    I'm just finishing ghost writing an autobiography.

    One of the final things I'm doing is naming the chapters.

    The format I'm going for is roman numeral and one word capitalised e.g. 'IV - THEATRE'

    What do you think about using the same word twice, where a later chapter could be 'XXI - THEATRE'?

    My inclination is no, but would be interested in other people's thoughts.


    Thanks,

    Max.

    I recommend thematically similar titles if there's a reason behind it, but you'll confuse people if they're the exact same.

    Yes, I think you're right, I've done it before where I did it as e.g. 'THEATRE - PART I' and then 'THEATRE - PART II', but I don't think that'll work for this one.

    I agree with above. Could you give them other differentiators, like year or the work they were involved in? E.g. THEATRE - 1975 or THEATRE - THE GOAT?
