My novel is now into the second round of Gollancz Direct Submissions for this year. Should I mention it in the query? #BookEndsChatThat's the danger with some contests -- we won't always know what they are. #BookEndsChat

Is it a red flag when a query has no comp titles at all? #bookendschatNot a red flag & not an automatic reject, but it's definitely one of the first things I find myself seeking out. #BookEndsChat

Is it a red flag when a query has no comp titles at all? #bookendschatAbsolutely not! Don't force comp titles just to have them in the query for the sake of comps. #BookEndsChat

Has a comp title in a query ever pushed you over the edge to a request? #BookEndsChatDefinitely. Doesn't always pan out in the end, but I never want to think "What if..." #BookEndsChat
Literary Agent
@VeryBadLlama Sometimes yes, depending on the comp title. But I'm not always looking for comps. #BookEndsChat
