Title: Do tweens still say "epic"?
Post by: amy-thernstrom on March 18, 2017, 06:54 AM

I was going to use the word "epic" in the title of my manuscript (My Year of Epic Bravery) and I thought I'd check to make sure it sounds okay and is still current slang. It's a girl's book, if that makes a difference. I have two boys but they are nerds and don't use slang much.

No clue, but wanted to say your title kind of intrigued me.

Epic works as slang or not :)
