	Pictures By Leigh Allison Leigh Seddon-Slingluff	What about "Candy YOU Want"? Although I like Everyone better than Everybody. Good Luck with the book!   Posted by Pictures By Leigh Allison on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 3:51 PM [Reply to this]

	margaret on the guillotine	Definitely "Candy Everyone Wants". It has a better flow to it. (:   Posted by margaret on the guillotine on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 3:51 PM [Reply to this]

	Bryan	candy everyone wants rolls off the tongue better! and it's assonance. :-)   Posted by Bryan on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 3:51 PM [Reply to this]

	Gena© Gena Grish	I like "Candy Everybody Wants." Why you ask? Well, I'll tell you. As lame as it sounds...I think it could be a play on words...it's candy every BODY wants. And let's face it, every BODY wants candy. Well, mine does at least. I must say, that it's hard to help name a novel when you don't know what it's going to be about. But that's my vote and I'm stickin to it. :-)   Posted by Gena© on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 3:52 PM [Reply to this]

	Ali	Well, it looks like your jobs aren't being made easier, with the poll split evenly. I like "Candy Everybody Wants" because candy is an inherently childlike thing. "Everyone" is a bit too stuffy and formal for this innocent, carefree, and fun creation- which I can only imagine your book must be, as well. Minus the innocent.   Posted by Ali on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 3:57 PM [Reply to this]

	Molls	"Candy Everyone Wants" for sure. PS. I totally want some candy.   Posted by Molls on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 3:58 PM [Reply to this]

	Shane Shane Haensgen	Since I'm from Wisconsin, just like the author (ahem, ahem) I think the title should be "Candy Everyone Wants". I don't need a useless English degree to help me decide that. I'm getting an equally useless History degree. Ta-Dah!   Posted by Shane on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 4:01 PM [Reply to this]

	Gabe (͡๏̯͡๏) Gabe Coppinger	Everybody. It'll have the same syllables as your first book. If you change now, and it doesn't do as well, you'll always ask yourself..."was it the number of syllables in the title?!"   Posted by Gabe (͡๏̯͡๏) on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 4:38 PM [Reply to this]

	WHITE TRASH	Candy Everyone Wants sounds better and people are about shorter and less, since that is one less syllable I think it seems to appeal more to people, especially Americans, you know we like everything easier. Candy Everybody wants sort of drags out of your mouth not that it's bad but the other one sounds better.   Posted by WHITE TRASH on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 4:39 PM [Reply to this]

	~Eric~	"CANDY EVERY(BODY) WANTS"......OH YEAH!   Posted by ~Eric~ on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 4:39 PM [Reply to this]

	Cleis Press	hmm, general first impression to be honest, neither one really rolls off the tongue, and seriously isn't that what one wants with their book title (and candy)? If these were the two to pick from I chose Candy Everybody Wants, it at least engages the singular individual who would pick the book up as opposed to the all encompassing everyone. Though if the cover is going to have a picture of pieces of candy on it, you might want to consider, Everybody Wants Candy, might give it a little more wide open for interpretation meaning for folks to ponder while they are buying the book, sucking on a piece of candy. Just a thought...   Posted by Cleis Press on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 4:39 PM [Reply to this]

	j.do	I've looked up both terms (everybody, everyone), and from what I can find....ahem ahem Everyone is more formal and directs the context at each individual person. Everybody tends to be informal, and directs the context at a group of people. Personally, I prefer everyone; however that could just be a personal issue of wanting to be included! Candy Everyone Wants. Yep, I feel part of the group already!   Posted by j.do on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 4:40 PM [Reply to this]

	Neil...AKA...Neil "Rocks The Gear"	"Candy Everyone Wants" That's it, nothing else to say...Neil   Posted by Neil...AKA...Neil "Rocks The Gear" on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 4:40 PM [Reply to this]

	Claire Cameron Claire Cameron	Candy Everyone Wants Like a lyrice in a song, a title needs good rhythm. The word Everyone stresses the first syllable, so it is easier to say than Everybody, which stresses the second syllable. This lessens the emphasis on the middle word and places it on the last word. Wants is the desire that will capture your reader's imagination. Great title -- I can taste it.   Posted by Claire Cameron on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 4:41 PM [Reply to this]

	JosH Joshua Brownfeld	I prefer "Candy Everyone Wants." Reason Being: I believe the word "everyone" to be slightly more endearing, rather than "everybody." "Everyone" is universal, it's whole, it's envious, it's pure. Everyone WANTS something, everybody NEEDS something. "Everybody" sounds tainted to me, a generalization. Can't wait, good luck!   Posted by JosH on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 4:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Analisa Analisa Guzman	Candy Everybody Wants--why? to me the reason is simple...poetic rhythm. It has a consistent pattern and a more pleasing sound that the other one doesn't possess. I find it more musical and pleasing to my ear and tongue simply because it has an extra syllable.   Posted by Analisa on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 4:42 PM [Reply to this]

	Chris	Okay, so I chose "Candy Everybody Wants" because the onomatopoeic poetic effect of "everyone wants" is, frankly, too many "W" sounds. It's sorta like the "white whale," and there should be no literary comparison of that stuffy book Moby Dick to what can only be described as the masterpiece of awesomeness that is your new book. (I *really* want to be in the forward.) The word "body" also connotes better, because every person has one and they're often used for fun and entertaining purposes. Sometimes involving candy. Anyway, these are the logical trains of thought that have crashed in my head, leaving "Candy Everybody Wants" as the phoenix rising from the smoldering wreckage.   Posted by Chris on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 4:42 PM [Reply to this]

	charlotte	candy everyone wants. "everybody" sounds ignant. i can't wait to get my hands on your new book regardless of the name.   Posted by charlotte on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 4:58 PM [Reply to this]

	Lower Baritone Peter Wright	I was going to vote for Candy Everyone Wants because it flows so much more naturally as many have already declared. But who wants a title that won't be remembered for rolling so easily off the tongue? Candy Everybody Wants doesn't flow as easily so your mind has to think about it just a little bit more. This causes the title to stick with the reader a little longer. That's a good thing for a novel title, right? So Candy Everybody Wants gets my vote.   Posted by Lower Baritone on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 4:58 PM [Reply to this]

	Living well is the best revenge	"Everybody". The syllables work together well. Also, it seems to add emphasis to the title.   Posted by Living well is the best revenge on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 4:59 PM [Reply to this]

	Jon	"Everyone" definitely.   Posted by Jon on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 5:14 PM [Reply to this]

	Jason Jordan, Fiction Writer Jason Jordan	I say "Candy Everybody Wants" since everybody is a stronger-sounding word than everyone. Plus, Stephen King's next novel is going to be titled "Candy Everyone Wants," so maybe you'll be able to get some offshoot sales from his mistaken fans.   Posted by Jason Jordan, Fiction Writer on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 5:19 PM [Reply to this]

	Colin the Book Pirate	I voted for "Candy Everyone Wants" mainly because phonetically the first sounds in the words One and Wants sound oddly similar. This can lead to many advantages that your new book would have been unable to achieve should you go with Everybody. First, theme song. Not many books have theme songs but your book could be one of them (if not the first). Based on my experience with writing songs, it is a lot easier to rhyme Everyone than it is to rhyme Everybody. This could lead to the following conversation at the book store when your book comes out. Bookstore Clerk: *humming* Customer: What is that catchy tune you are humming? Bookstore Clerk: It's the theme song for the book Candy Everyone Wants. Customer: Surely a book with its own catchy theme song is awesome. I will buy a copy for myself and all my friends. See? See how a theme song helps. I'm not sure where I am going with this, so I think I will end now before I say something logically stupid. Also, be nice to us English majors. Sometimes we just settle for English because they don't have a degree in our true calling (Plant Psychology).   Posted by Colin the Book Pirate on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 5:55 PM [Reply to this]

	Jess	Candy Everybody Wants was what I though the initil title was and I can't see it any other way.I think it gives it a child-like innocence to a novel that may very well be the opposite.It's a play on words,so to speak.I think it's a title that I can see catching my eye in a bookstore,because it's a little different from what you might expect. You know,because I love your preveious novella and who doesn't want you to make some more money? ;D   Posted by Jess on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 5:55 PM [Reply to this]

Oh and you know I'll be out there rearranging the books on the shelves for prominent placement when it comes out! hehe - remember that was my big idea way back when?!

	JONATHAN PINKERTON jonathan pinkerton	CANDY EVERYBODY WANTS....because James Hitchcock would probably choose the other option just to be difficult Jonathan   Posted by JONATHAN PINKERTON on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 6:18 PM [Reply to this]

	katie	Candy EveryBODY wants Why, because it gives you the image of a person's body actually wanting, needing and desiring candy. When I want candy, it's my body telling me, my tongue, my stomach, whatever is floating around inside of my head and then my fingers actually take hold of the candy and place it to my mouth to fulfill my desires. Man, I must need to get laid. Everyone is vague.   Posted by katie on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 7:02 PM [Reply to this]

	Joc.	i think your next book should be titled, "candy everyBody wants." i like the way it sounds and historically, soon to be bistorically maybe, everybody has too. Dean Martin did not have a hit single called "everyone loves someone somtimes." no no no. we all know this jingle as, "Everybody loves somebody sometime." In the mid to late 80s', correct me if i'm wrong, Everyone did not want to have fun tonight. Everybody wanted to Wang Chung. whatever the fuck that may mean; everyBody wanted to do it. The word Everbody can also bring great emotion such as the tv shows, "Everybody loves Raymond"(RIP Peter boyle) and "Everybody hates Chris." (RIP chris rock's comedic carrer)Not everyone, everyone is a weak word. Everybody hated him with every organ, hair folical, and cell in thier body. All of these are well known by their give name. dispite what shakespear says, its all in the name. just ask a celeb-baby as soon as he or she hits grade school. -joc :)   Posted by Joc. on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 7:03 PM [Reply to this]

	7h0|\/|^5	I like "Candy Everbody Wants". I know people have mentioned the whole "because bodies want candy" and while that is true, I think there is more to it. For me using the word Everybody implies different kinds of bodies. Male, female, those in between and even undecided.   Posted by 7h0|\/|^5 on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 7:04 PM [Reply to this]

	Dam Dyke	"Candy Everybody Wants" sounds more like a marketing campaign for a sugar addicted crack whore living on the Meat Packing District Streets. While based on your previously delightful memoir that would be a perfect sequel, I have to go with the more grammatically appealing "Candy Everyone Wants". That title still has that drag show edge, without sounding disparate. How's that for bliterafication?   Posted by Dam Dyke on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 8:44 PM [Reply to this]

	Nico Medina	First, I love the cover! I vote for "Candy Everyone Wants." Ok, so "Candy Everybody" sounds silly and rhyme-y to me, because the "-dy everybo-dy" sound combination is just awkward to say compared to the "-one wants" sound combination. That's why it rolls off the tongue better. (Thanks to lots of linguistics classes in undergrad, I think about this stuff a lot! :-) ) Make sense?   Posted by Nico Medina on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 8:44 PM [Reply to this]

	Will	"Candy Everyone Wants" because the words flow better. Candy and Everybody both end in "dy" so it's awkward to say. And people generally say "Everyone wants....", people don't usually say "Everybody wants...."   Posted by Will on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 8:45 PM [Reply to this]

	Amy	I say everyone, more impactful...but alas I am in the minority. Either way, I can't wait to get my hands on it! Woo hoo!   Posted by Amy on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 8:45 PM [Reply to this]

	JakeNewtonJohn	The world is already too complicated a place, so I'm voting with plain, simple "Candy" or even "I Want Candy" because at the end of the day, I do. Hope all is well, mister.   Posted by JakeNewtonJohn on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 8:45 PM [Reply to this]

	[i got the electric blues] Katie Rowley	I prefer "Candy Everybody Wants", because it sounds more casual. If I'm speaking to someone in a casual way, I don't say "everyone", I say "everybody". And I think that when I see a book on a shelf with a casual title, like something I myself would say, it catches my eye more than something that seems a bit more... stiff, I guess? If it were me, I'd go with "Everybody".   Posted by [i got the electric blues] on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 8:46 PM [Reply to this]

	jessica	When I first read this I decided that "Candy Everyone Wants" just rolls off the tongue. However, that’s obviously not enough to use when deciding a title for a book I mean this is clearly life or death not to be too overdramatic. So I went on Google and looked up "Candy Everyone Wants" and everything on the list was for "Candy Everybody Wants"…so if you did title your book "Candy Everyone Wants" it would be the first thing on the list if you Google it since there wasn’t a single "Candy Everyone Wants" item to show up. I’m sure that sounded a little confusing with all of the candies and wanting. You know what would be cute if on the cover there was a child stealing candy from an adult’s pocket. Alright I’m done with my random rant I need to go do homework and be somewhat productive now.   Posted by jessica on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 8:47 PM [Reply to this]

	.keli.	Rather than just rolling off my tongue easily and meaninglessly, Candy Everybody Wants dances on my tongue. It bounces around in my mouth - sweet, literary gumdrops that I would enthusiastically share with a friend.   Posted by .keli. on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 8:47 PM [Reply to this]

	Mike	So...I believe "Everyone" is defined as "Everybody"...and "Everybody" is defined as "Every Person"...and since "Every Person" isn't an option "Everybody" should be the end of the road. So...There we have it! My vote? "Candy Everybody Wants" Of course...We can go to the root of "Every Person"...Leading us to "Everybody"...leading us to "Everyone" but that just gets confusing for me to argue...so let them eat cake... "Candy Everybody Wants" I say!!!   Posted by Mike on Thursday, September 06, 2007 - 1:40 AM [Reply to this]

	Mary	I voted for "Candy Everyone Wants" because after I said both a hundred times, I found I enjoyed saying "everyone" more. Saying "everyBODY" gave me tongue fatigue. Also, by using EveryONE, it sends a subliminal message to the general public that it is a number ONE book!   Posted by Mary on Thursday, September 06, 2007 - 1:42 AM [Reply to this]

	|||LeSLeY|||	I dont have a clever answer. I wasnt an engilsh major, just an art major, but i did work at Barnes and Noble during college and I know what a galley book is! Candy Everyone Wants just sounds better- and it sounds more like YOU and how you would write it. Silly really, I mean the titles are so similar, everyone, everybody, it shouldnt really matter, right? but can you imagine Im Not Myself These Days being called anything else? Candy Everybody Wants starts to sound like a line to a commercial when you keep repeating it over and over again. Or maybe a bad 80's song. Candy Everyone Wants is just smoother and sexier! A little more grown up i guess. If it were my book, being a designer I'd probably be focusing on how the title would actually LOOK on the cover and how the words would look in a particular font etc- so, i think that Candy Everyone Wants also just LOOKS better :) Don't ask me why! Theres my art school answer!   Posted by |||LeSLeY||| on Thursday, September 06, 2007 - 1:43 AM [Reply to this]

	☆☆tif	"candy everybody wants" just because "candy everyone wants" has two 'wan' sounds right next to eachother. if you say it over and over again it's annoying. imagine fran dresher with her nasal voice saying it. it sound horrible. it feels dirty. it's wrong. screw the wan wan that's my final answer and you know i'm right. love, tiffany PS: that lock of aquas hair that i have is all over the bottom of my drawer. the ribbon came undone. a real disaster. :-)   Posted by ☆☆tif on Thursday, September 06, 2007 - 1:45 AM [Reply to this]
