Janet Reid (aka Query Shark) says...
- Comps are a shorthand for which the bookshelf it belongs in and who your reader is
- Research using books published in the last 2yrs which are similar in plot/tone to yours?“[TITLE] will appeal to readers of ... and evokes the story of ...”
- Describe what aspect of the book is comparable to yours: the tone, the multiple points of view, the style, etc.
- Once there’s a movie, assume the book is not a good comp. Alsoif the author has 20+ bestsellers. only use it if it's a success or a phenomenon
