🩸📚🩸 As someone who is a huge fan of "old school slashers," there's a very different feeling I get from watching Ghostface stalk his friends vs Jason chase camp counselors. Both are good. But I think one works a bit better for writing/books than the other.

Also, as someone who has been on bookstagram for years now, there are diff rules online vs sending to an agent. Readers don’t necessarily look at sales (agents do) so if talking about your book online, just have fun with talking about your vibe. You can comp shoes/ movies/ music/ visual artists etc

We're having so much fun reading through your pitches!
Just a small reminder to trade sample chapters (or whatever length you're comfortable with) to ensure you're a good working match. Not everyone is meant to be your CP or beta, and THAT'S OKAY!

For the first one - I think it's fine to have some comps that are outside your specific subgenre, but I'd make sure to have at least one comp that's higher-stakes.
