In the pack: ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini Prompts for Writers and Authors
Comp Titles and Market Position Check
Prompt
My book: {{BOOK_SUMMARY}}
Genre, age category and approximate word count: {{GENRE_CATEGORY_LENGTH}}
Books I think mine is like, and why: {{MY_COMP_IDEAS}}
Do the following:
1. Describe my book's shelf in one sentence: genre, subgenre, age category, tone.
2. Assess my own comp ideas: are they recent, similar in tone and readership, and not so famous that they read as a boast? Say which to keep.
3. Suggest 6-8 more candidate comps across books, plus at most one film or TV show, each with a one-line reason. Prefer books published in roughly the last five years.
4. Write two "X meets Y" lines and one "for readers of" line using the strongest comps.
5. Flag anything about my genre/length combination that seems unusual, so I can check it against agent or publisher guidelines.
Important: you may misremember titles, authors or dates. Mark every suggested comp "verify", and I will check each one exists, its publication year and its reception before I use it.
