Make sure that comp titles are not dis-allowed for the specific agent you are querying. I've seen a lot of agents saying they don't want comp titles, although there are just as many saying they do.<br /><br /><a href="http://pimpmynovel.blogspot.com/2010/02/rerun-thursday-more-on-comp-titles.html" rel="nofollow">This</a> might also be of interest.

I once sent in a query where the publisher had specifically asked for "books that could be compared to yours", and "how yours is different from these." That was the first time I had come across this, but it was a good exercise.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03734014895825429358noreply@blogger.com
