Thread: A little more help please

I'm stuck on a question for homework, not sure which verb to use.

I have to translate "Have you told anyone what is the name of the novel that you are writing now?"
I'm not sure how to translate this exactly.
Would it be:
вы сказали кто-нибудь как называется ето роман что вы сейуас пишут?

Is сказали the verb I should use? And would it be correct to use называется here or would I say something else to make it more of a direct translation?

Thanks

Edit: The point of this assignment is to translate a bunch of sentences and use -нибудь or -то

Here's my attempt, but I'm also a learner so wait for a native speaker.

Вы сказали кому-нибудь как называется этот роман, который вы сейчас пишете?

Вы сказали кому-нибудь как называется этот роман, который вы сейчас пишете?

good

But little better:

Вы кому-нибудь сказали как называется (этот) роман, который вы сейчас пишете?

Вы сказали кому-нибудь как называется этот роман, который вы сейчас пишете?

This is just fine for me, I would only exсlude "этот" from here

The English doesn't sound that good, to be honest.

I agree, the English is a little whacky there.

I was wondering if it would be acceptable use "название романа" in that sentence. Instead if "kak" construction.

Yeah, you can ask that way as well.

Thanks for the help guys, and yea I agree the english is a little off, but that's what's in the workbook so that's what I have to translate.
