Free, and no account needed.

Chapter titles are optional, and a bad one is worse than none. Their job is to set a tone and give the eye somewhere to rest, not to summarise what follows — a title that announces the twist has spent it.

Nonfiction is the exception: there, a chapter title is a promise about what the reader will be able to do by the end of it, and being explicit is the whole point.

Common questions

Do books need chapter titles?
No. Numbered chapters are completely standard in fiction, and many bestsellers use nothing else. Titles are a stylistic choice; in nonfiction they are closer to a requirement, because readers navigate by them.
How long should a chapter title be?
One to four words in fiction. Nonfiction titles run longer because they are describing a takeaway rather than setting a mood.

Every tool here is free. The books are not.
