A couple weeks ago I saw Tracey @ Adventure Awaits do this tag on her blog and I knew I had to steal do it! I’ve done a lot of comparative titles for book proposals, but now I’m doing it for fun and it could be helpful later. XD
What are comp titles?
These are books that are similar to your books. Proposals often require this to get a sense of your story and they’re also helpful in queries and pitches.
Les Guidelines:
- Pick a few (or all!) of your WIPS!
- Give them some comp titles!
- Tag a few peoples if you wish!
- Have fun!
Like Attack on Titan, Red Hood has crazy monster werewolves that are nearly unbeatable that eat people and cause general havoc. Like the Lunar Chronicles, Red Hood is based on fairytale retellings, so well-known stories with a twist. Like Curio, it has a mixed setting of cultures and 1800s steampunk technology.
Like Maximum Ride, the books center around a bunch of teenage kids with animal DNA. Like X-Men, these kids become like superheroes and some have cyborg parts. Like the Maze Runner, they’re in a dystopian society with a crazy disease going on.
Like Throne of Glass, Starbloods is set in a renaissance world with lots of fairies and monsters great stuff like that. Like Scarlet Moon, Starbloods is about chosen ones with awesome powers. Like Blood of Kings, there’s telepathy and sorcery and all that fun stuff.
Jules Verne because it’s sci-fi traveling and aliens and such in an old-timey setting. Six of Crows because of the ages of the characters and the Eastern European influence. Defy the Stars because of someone being in a body that people doubt is completely human.
Les Nominees:
Christine @ Musings of an Elf
Melissa @ Quill Pen Writer
Astrid @ Astrid Kaniele Writes
Mary @ Sunshine Scribblings
Alexah @ Summer Snowflakes
