Help with this title
I am looking for a little help with the title of this book. I am not sure if all or only part should be in italics. What do you think? Also, should the hyphen stay or go?
The Atheist and The Afterlife—An Autobiography : A true story of inspiration, transformation, and the pursuit of enlightenment, Awakening Series Book 1

Whew! After all that, if I were writing this review, I would use one of these two options:
The Atheist and the Afterlife—An Autobiography
The Atheist and the Afterlife—An Autobiography: A True Story of Inspiration, Transformation, and the Pursuit of Enlightenment
I sincerely hope this helped.

The Atheist and the Afterlife—An Autobiography, is a stunningly honest work by Ray Catania.
this is what I got on my score : The Atheist and the Afterlife—An [Autobiography,] is a stunningly honest work by Ray Catania. Yup, I was dinged for it.
some days I just want to give up!

The ding was for having a comma between the subject and the verb; the title looks great!
Sometimes it’s frustrating being very careful about one thing only to get tripped up on something else. Tomorrow is another day…

Also, I would shy away from shortening the title when you first mention it in the review. As far as I'm aware, you should be able to shorten the title after subsequent mentions (e.g., MsH2k's suggestion), but it's usually best to provide the full one when you're first introducing it.
