“DECOLONIZATION” OF UKRAINE

Among the Lookalikes

Advice from Lucinda Halpern, on Poets and Writers magazine website

(Source link https://www.pw.org/agents_editors_recommend/lucinda_halpern_of_lucinda_literary)

“You can also use Amazon to search for similar books in the same genre. You’ve now landed on some compelling comparative titles (or “comps,” which are necessary to include in your letter). Like Hollywood, publishing is a lookalike business. If your book resembles other popular titles, your chances of persuading an agent to take you on as a client increase. As I explain in my book, Get Signed: Find an Agent, Land a Book Deal, and Become a Published Author (Hay House, February 2024), comps have to be a good fit, not a perfect fit. You will also need what I call “the differentiator”—an element that sets it apart from other titles—to help your book stand out in a crowd.

Ivan Illich Poetics – Four Poems (see linkage)

Announcing the first Substack blog for “Ivan Illich Poetics”– poetry in conversation with the ideas and legacy of the 20th century heterodox thinker Ivan Illich. Four of my poems are now on the blog.

Thanks to Nina Power for starting the Substack– which grew out of discussions in prof. Power’s online course on Illich, (along with the collective project of recording an audiobook of one of Illich’s out of print books, “Gender”)
