This is a question I've been having with my current WIP. Thank you! Another question I'm having is the concept of including an epilogue in a book which will continue in another book in the series. Someone told me a cliffhanger would work best however my first draft epilogue is the cliffhanger. How should I go about this?
Do comp titles work with films, TV shows, plays and other stuff that aren't novels or adapted from them, and novels written by foreign authors in other languages? They are often the source of inspiration for my story concepts and I'd really like to know if I could incorporate them in a comp title in some way.
This was helpful. I've always liked the advice to write the book you want to read but can't find, but that tends to shoot you in the foot when picking comps for agent submission. Any thoughts about using both A- and B-style comps when sending queries to agents? ie: "Conceptually, this book can be described as Title X meets Title Y. The book's target reader includes any fan of books by Author Z or Title ZZ."
In my research it is always recommended to have specific books. You'll want to find 2 to 3 titles that have been published within the last 5 to 10 years. Alyssa Matesic is a great resource.
Shaelin is great and she communicates the information perfectly. I just wish Spanish Jesus would spring for the cash to get her a good 🎤 so the reverb wouldn’t smash my eardrums.
Comps have been the bane of my existence. Thank you so much! 😊
“It’s like LoTR, but with cowboys”
I’d absolutely read that lmao
Thank you
Great content presented by an angel. Stay safe.

Hey I m from India i love d way u teach
I used the formula A a lot.
Instead of a title, can you comp an author? Something like “the distinctive first-person voice and suspense of [popular author]”

It’s like pride and prejudice, but with zombies!
I need captions to understand this since I am deaf
Lord of the Rings but with Cowboys sounds amazing.

It's the room that causes reverb. Not the mic.
Acoustic foam is needed to absorb the reflections.
