Newbie question on request title

Post by ReneMcBee »

I thought that I had posted this question in the forum already, but I don't see it in 'my posts.'
I've written an article for a public request, but the way the request was made, it looks as though the requester has already given the title for the article that he wants. Example: Request: The Very Best Way to Get Rid of Mice Description: An article is needed giving ten different ways to get rid of mice in the home
Should I leave that as the title even though it was given as a direction in the description? Any help would be greatly appreciated! :?

Since this is a public request, yours may be one of several submitted for the client to choose from. Unless this has changed, the system won't accept a submission with the same title as another, so I would devise another title with the same meaning if I were you. if they buy full rights, customers can change titles themselves. If they buy usage or unique rights, they can ask the author to revise it, so it shouldn't be a problem.
