Help! I have the title, but I can’t decide on the subtitle. Any comments (here, or privately) would be greatly appreciated, please.
The title is: Irene Mawer, the biography.
(Well, it does what it says on the tin!). There will be a series of three books, the next one being Irene Mawer, the press archives.
Now I need a subtitle for the biography. The book is not just about mime. I would like to show that the book covers some of the following things:
a woman, theatre, movement, teaching.
Secondary things would include: mime, voice, Classical Greek Dance.
Here are some possible examples. Do you like any of them?
