So after many hours attempting to do this seemingly simple thing I throw in the proverbial towel and ask for help. How the heck do I put a title on a cover for a chapbook in LibreOffice? The publisher requires this.
Any help really appreciated.

Please, edit your question to be more descriptive and explicit. Use a more “standardized” vocabulary (what is a “chapbook”?) and more “neutral” (no “heck” when you understand LO basic principles).
Give an idea of the structure of your book: cover, TOC, chapters, index or cover, chapters, TOC, … Do you want to repeat the chapter title in the header of every page? Do you want to start every chapter with a page containing only the chapter title (a kind of sub-cover?) and optionally repeat the title on every subsequent page header?
Key to these requirements lies in the consistent use of styles, mainly paragraph styles to tag paragraphs with additional properties, such as designating a paragraph as a heading.
If you format your book manually, there is no solution. If you haven’t done so already, I recommend you read the Writer Guide for an introduction to styles.

IMHO, there are many conceivable possibilities for a title page.
A4 portrait format (only front for title)
A4 landscape format (results in front and back for A5)
A3 landscape format (results in front and back for A4)
What shape does your title page need to be?
