I Critique

Critique #3

Note: Pasensya na po sa delay. I said na sinimulan ko itong Critique shop kasi bored ako. Pero mukhang nadinig ata ng mga nilalang sa ilalim ng lupa ang sinabi ko, at bigla nalang ay sandamakmak na gawaiin ang humarap sa akin (sad).

And as I've always said, I won't sugarcoat, but I may sandwich.

Title: This Love Is Golden
Author: aryanpel
Genre: Romance

Cover:

Sa totoo lang ayaw ko talagang isali sa pag-critique ang cover ng inyong mga libro, kasi wala po talaga akong sense of art. But sa point po na ito ay mayroon lamang po akong kaunting komento sa paraan ng iyong pagsulat ng titulo sa iyong pabalat.

The are three core rules in capitalizing a book title.

Rule 1:

Always capitalize the first and last word of a title, no matter what the word is.

Rule 2:

Always capitalize the following five word categories:

Nouns
Pronouns
Verbs
Adjectives
Adverbs

Rule 3:

Always capitalize words of five or more letters, regardless of whether the word falls into one of the aforementioned five categories.

This pertains to articles, coordinating conjunctions and prepositions. However, if the things mentioned above, only has less than five words, it should not be capitalized—not unless it is in the ending of or the beginning of the title.

Now let's take the title in your cover as an example:

this love is golden

- the word this in your title serves as a pronoun, love is a noun, is is a linking verb and golden is an adjective. Therefore, following rule #2, these words should be written in capital letters.

So the correct format should be;

This Love Is Golden

Another example:

into the woods

Into, as we know, is a preposition with less than five words (check rule 3). However, it is placed at the beginning of the sentence, and rule #1 says, that regardless of whatever it is, it should be capitalized.

On the other hand, the is a definite article, with less than five letters and is not in either at the end or the beginning of the sentence; therefore, rule #3 says, it should not be capitalized.
