To uncover why she had to mercy-kill her twin, Ice Guard Mye Su (19) must use her concealed disabilities to communicate w/ sentient fungi & unite the human coalition, or they’ll all be a hot meal for a super predator. Fans of: anxious, relatable Murderbot & Chambers’s alien community. #PreDV #DIS

WHOA WE START OFF STRONG, this is a really intriguing premise! You can drop her age in favor of an age group tag (YA/A). For your comps, you can also condense by using just the titles. Maybe try that in one or two of your pitches day-of!

Thanks! Comps are hard because the world & the main problem are like Silo + Children of Time, but the voice and community/exploration of non-human intelligence is a lot like Murderbot and Chambers. I feel like those need qualifiers so people aren’t expecting plot similarities, but the vibes are on.

I totally understand; my comps are more vibes than plot. In my query letter, I specifically call out which elements of the comps I'm speaking to, but I don't do that in my pitches. You have 6 pitches total so you can always experiment and play around with how you put your comps in there!

Honestly, I left out the comps for #PitchDis and got some requests, so I may let it stand on its own this time too. More character space or hashtags. Sucks because I had an agent but she left agenting unexpectedly. Querying again after we aged it up is not my favorite! 😅🫠 Best of luck to you! 🫡
