Carly Watters(literary agent at P.S. Literary) says...
- No comp is better than a poor comp.
- It’s OK to use film/TV , authors or podcasts as comps
- Find at least one comp.
- The comp can be a bestseller, but if a book has become ubiquitous, it is too popular to be a comp.
- You can use the following formulations to talk about your comps: “This (x) meets that (y)” or “in the tradition of” or “Like Y, my novel.”
- What category/genre and where your book fits in the publishing world. How would your book be pitched?
