So, understanding where your book fits in is essential. It\u2019s not because agents are lazy \u2013 it\u2019s because we have to be selective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How you present your manuscript gives us a sense of your vision for it. If we can tell that your vision for your book is different than ours, it\u2019s probably a sign that it won\u2019t be a very fruitful artistic partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So here are some steps to help figure out where your book fits in this market:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ask yourself, is my book really for children?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is your age category?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are your comparative titles? Ideally, these should highlight what you think are the strongest or most important features of your book<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does your book fill a gap in the market?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s take a closer look at each of these steps.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is my book for children?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Children\u2019s books are not about adults. Unless you are the ghost of Roald Dahl, your book needs a child protagonist. Arguably, there needs to be other children too, so they\u2019re not just surrounded by adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there are books with animals and even objects \u2013 but even though they\u2019re not an actual child, they\u2019re usually child-<em>like<\/em>. Children\u2019s books need to be about things that children care about, that see the world the way they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So my first step is to ask \u2013 is this book for children? Does it feature adult characters, dealing with things in their adult way?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Or, <\/em>does it go too far in the other direction? Does it feature a child character, but told through a reflective lens of an adult perspective? Or is the content, even if it features a young child, not accessible to a child <em>reader<\/em>? Sometimes stories that are about children are not written for children, but are very adult handlings of very mature subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is your age category?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that it\u2019s exhausting to constantly be asked to categorise your work, especially by age. But here\u2019s the truth: publishing is a business. Publishers are selling a product. Booksellers (read: superheroes) need to make it as easy as possible for consumers to make the best choice in their selection. And we, in turn, want to make it as easy as possible for them to do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While categories in publishing may seem restrictive, we have these categories for the same reason that a supermarket has different sections \u2013 so that consumers know what they\u2019re getting, and it\u2019s easy for them to find it. When you need milk, you go to the dairy section. If you want to find a book that is aimed at a 6-year-old, you go to that section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did say \u2018aimed at\u2019 \u2013 this is important. Even if your 10-year-old is incredibly advanced, books for 16-year-olds can deal with things like abusive relationships, drug use, sex, mental illness, through the lens of a teenager who may be experiencing it. Just because a 10-year-old can read it, that doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s appropriate for them. Books aimed at 10-year-olds can deal with the same issues, but it\u2019s handled with that age group in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a lot of work done to provide age-appropriate stories for teenagers who maybe aren\u2019t as seasoned as readers \u2013 if you want to write a story for a reluctant or struggling reader, who\u2019s aged 15, great!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Comparative titles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Comparative titles shouldn\u2019t feel like homework. They\u2019re telling us so much about how you see your book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agents hope to see that you haven\u2019t written your book in a vacuum. The best writers are readers, so we would expect that you\u2019re reading widely in that space. That you understand your audience and what they\u2019re reading. That you know what\u2019s doing well with that age group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I do have some tips to make it easier if you\u2019re really struggling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a start, stake out a bookshop. See what\u2019s on the tables \u2013 they\u2019re normally more recent publications. Picking a title that\u2019s relatively recent shows us you\u2019re keeping up to date and want to stay informed on the market. Talk to the bookseller! Ask them what\u2019s popular, what\u2019s selling, what people are asking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a second comparative title, you don\u2019t have to choose a book. You can choose a TV show or movie that you really related to, as long as it\u2019s aimed at (more or less) your target demographic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also isolate the elements of a book that you think add to your pitch but maybe overall, it\u2019s not the right fit. Think about things like writing style, setting or time period, dynamics or tropes in the main relationships. You can say that your manuscript combines an element from Book X with something else from TV show Y. Play around with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does your book fill a gap in the market?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to be clear here that I\u2019m not talking about writing something specifically to fill a gap. Write what you want to write, write what you love! But you can always pitch something in a way that suggests it\u2019s filling a gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to do that is not to be cocky or arrogant. Don\u2019t tell us \u201cno one is writing about this\u201d or \u201cthere are no books addressing this\u201d. But what you can do is say, \u201cI think my book would be perfect for readers who are ready to graduate from X\u201d or \u201creaders who aren\u2019t ready for Y\u201d \u2013 if you can highlight in that sentence along that there <em>isn\u2019t <\/em>a lot of material for readers who are ready to graduate from a certain series or brand, that\u2019s a USP that strengthens your pitch. See if you can find a gap that your manuscript fills? For example, I see a lot of calls for more STEM-based stories nowadays. Does your manuscript have a STEM aspect that you can talk about? I would never suggest changing or writing something to fit a trend, but if there is a part of your manuscript that fills a gap, let us know. If your book is the perfect next step (often a step <em>up <\/em>in difficulty) from a popular book, you\u2019re <em>creating <\/em>a place for yourself in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, we want you to love your book as much as you did when you first sent it to us. It\u2019s our job to sell it, but if you and your agent aren\u2019t on the same wavelength about what you\u2019ve written, along the way someone gets let down. So we ask that you give us a good sense of the book you want us to expect, so that we can find the perfect home for it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Submissions are at an all-time high, and not every agent is the right fit for every project.
