H...'New writers have a fine line to walk.'<br /><br />Here's some ways to think of it, then: where would your book go in Borders? Complete the following sentence 'if you like X and Y, you'll like my book'. Which two books *published in the last two years* is it like?<br /><br />You want to launch a book into a crowded, current marketplace. Mentioning a couple of recent books shows a little bit of awareness of that marketplace - comparing yourself to Hemingway or Salinger comes across, at this stage at least, a little premature and arrogant. Saying 'it's like Twilight meets The Da Vinci Code' suggests you should probably read more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-17139882441543264062010-03-05T14:09:34.353-05:002010-03-05T14:09:34.353-05:00As a reader: If this was the back cover I saw in t...As a reader: If this was the back cover I saw in the book store, I'd definitely be intrigued enough to pick it up.

This series gives enlightening insight into the way an agent views a query. <br /><br />Because so many agents advise against presuming to compare unpublished work to bestsellers, I'm interested in how most of you here at DGLM want specific comp titles. New writers have a fine line to walk.<br /><br />I personally found the above query intriguing but clunky--a little school book report-y. Maybe the author is trying too hard?Anne R.

The subject is quite interesting and just because I have some suggestions for the query doesn't necessarily mean I wouldn't want to see the project. :)<br /><br />~ RachelDGLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03594925221862242748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-39017748826517489852010-03-05T12:56:34.237-05:002010-03-05T12:56:34.237-05:00Rachel, I agree, this doesn't seem to be a YA ...Rachel, I agree, this doesn't seem to be a YA novel and it leaves us with more questions than answers. That said, I still find this query intriguing enough to want to know more; no doubt because of the choice of the characters' names and to see how the author weaves such stellar literary icons into his/her work . Would you have asked to see more?Lynnhttp://itsallmaya.comnoreply@blogger.com
