Why isn’t your book getting picked up? Because no one knows where to shelve it. Comp titles are the single most misunderstood tool in the publishing process and the most powerful when used well. In this workshop, we’ll demystify the art of comparison titles: how to find them, how to use them, and how to stop accidentally underselling your book in query letters, pitch events, and editor submissions.
     Writers leave this session with a sharp new way of thinking about market position and a fresh, strategic comp list that actually works. Don’t keep guessing. Learn how agents and editors use comps behind the scenes and how to speak their language.
