Comp Title Finder
Comparable books to position yours
Comparable titles, or comps, are the books you name to say "if you liked these, you will like mine". Agents expect them in queries, ads use them for targeting, and readers use them to decide. Describe your book and get well-matched comps with a note on why each fits.
What are comp titles?
Comps are published books similar enough to yours that a reader who loved them would likely love yours. They position your book on a mental shelf, and they are the fastest way to tell an agent, an ad platform, or a reader what to expect from your writing.
How do I choose good comps?
Pick books that match your tone and readership, not just your surface plot, and avoid only naming the biggest bestsellers, which signals you have not read widely in your lane. A recent, mid-list comp that genuinely resembles your book is more convincing than a household name.
Where do I use comps?
In query letters to agents, in your Amazon ad targeting where you can aim at readers of specific books, in your description as "for fans of", and in your own planning to understand the expectations of your niche.
