Frequently asked questions

How recent do comp titles need to be?

Comp titles should be published within the past five to seven years so it is representative of the current market potential of your manuscript.

Can I use bestselling books as a comp title?

Yes, you can! However, the books that have sold the most copies aren’t always the most suitable comp titles. While it’s integral that a comp title has sold well, it’s better to choose a comp title that’s sold less well but more closely represents the tone and overall vibe of your own book.

How many comp titles should I include in my query letter?

You should aim for two comp titles in your query letter. You can include three, but agents would expect more than one.

Can I use a series as a comp title?

You can, but it’s best to pick a specific book within that series that best represents your manuscript.

What if I can’t find a forced proximity romance comp title that fits my book?

You can broaden your horizons to also include other subgenres of romance!
