About
The key to making your book stand out in a crowded marketplace might just be in choosing the right comparative titles. But how do you know which ones will resonate?
Get practical, real-world advice from this panel, and leave with a tailored list of comparative titles to make your book stand out in the competitive world of publishing.
This unique panel of experienced booksellers, in an interactive format, will help you discover the most effective titles and offer expert advice on how to position your book alongside successful, similar titles, making your pitch more compelling and market-ready.
Titles will be given in real-time. So bring your elevator pitch (no more than three sentences). Even if we run out of time and we can’t get to everyone, these tips will be invaluable for marketing your work in progress. Besides, multiple comps can work for multiple people. Maybe what worked for someone else will work for you, too!
