A lot of writers seem to be asking about comp titles in their pitch. But I’m running out of space. Are comp titles required? Encouraged? Not necessary? #askDVpitDefinitely not! Just your pitch + genre/age category :) #askDVpit

When looking for comp titles, is it better to focus on similar themes rather than similar content? Ex. Using a contemporary middle grade GN about friendship as a comp for a manuscript that's also about friendship, only in a fantasy setting. #askDVpitI suggest sticking to genre. But you can always indicate what it is about the comp that is similar. So “The voice of X” or “the friendship story of Y” #askDVpit

This will be my very first Twitter Pitch party. So that I’m clear we simply tweet with the proper hashtags and wait for “hearts” by agents to submit to? #askDVpitYep! Tweet your pitch, mention the age category + genre, and include the hashtag! You can also look at old pitches for inspiration #askDVpit

How close /good do our comps need to be? I’m struggling #askDVpitYou want your comps to be both relevant and recent. If you can’t find any, you either need to keep looking or think about why that might be. #askDVpit
