Default title

Dear teachers,


1. What novels do readers like
---- On the styles of writing
2. What novels do readers like?
-----On the styles of writing

I have no idea if I should use a question mark in the title of a paper. Could you please tell me which of the following is correct?


Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you in advance.

Jiang

Dear tdol,

I'll change the title as you suggested.
Could you please kindly tell me if I do need a subtitle, which is the correct way to write it?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you in advance.
