Road Trip Wednesday is a "Blog Carnival," where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on our own blogs. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic. We'd love for you to participate! Just answer the prompt on your own blog and leave a link in the comments - or, if you prefer, you can include your answer in the comments.
This Week's Topic:
Who are your comp titles/authors?
Emilia: "Everyone is special. You're special. Adorable little Billy is special. I'm special! (No, really...)"
Kaitlin: "You might think I'm going somewhere with this..."
Kate: "I liked the idea of using comp titles in my queries, because I wanted to show that I had done my research."
Road Trip Song of the Week:
The Pretender - Foo Fighters
Next week's topic:

ReplyDeleteLove this topic!
It took my first agent all of five seconds to comp the book she signed me on when I couldn't think of anything to save my life. FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC meets LIVING DEAD GIRL. Awesome! Now I get the process...
