Comp Titles That Sell: Positioning Your Book for Success


Want to grab an agent’s attention? Nail your comp titles. The right comparative titles don’t just showcase where your book fits in the market—they make it irresistible. But finding the perfect comps? That’s where most writers get stuck.

In this power-packed, one-hour session, we’ll demystify the art of selecting comps that work for you—titles that highlight your book’s unique appeal while proving its marketability. You’ll learn:

  • Why comps matter—and how they can make or break an agent’s interest.
  • How to find the right comps (Hint: It’s not just picking your favorite books).
  • How to position your book as fresh, exciting, and sellable without forcing awkward comparisons.

By the end of this session, you’ll have a comp title strategy that strengthens your pitch, makes your book stand out, and gives you an edge in today’s competitive market.
