Your first page is arguably the most important in your entire novel. It's where your reader — or a literary agent — decides: do I want to keep reading this? After spending years evaluating queries and editing hundreds of books, I've noticed that the best first pages contain these 4 elements.

Saying your book is like "The Hunger Games" or "Gone Girl" may actually be hurting your query letter. If you're wondering... How do you select appropriate comp titles? Should you comp to mega bestsellers? What about classic novels? Here are your answers!

#SFFChat I think for fantasy, the biggest question I ask myself is "What makes this world different from our own? What fantastical elements does it use?" There are certain things associated with fantasy that, if they don't appear in the story, it makes it hard for me to associate it with the genre.

#SFFChat I need some level of humor in SFF. It helps me understand the character(s) more, especially if they're able to joke about a dangerous situation they're in. I don't think I have a favorite or least favorite approach. I'm *usually* able to laugh at anything.

“Are the inhabited dimensions always so few and far between?” Evans asked.
“Unfortunately,” Kip said, sighing dramatically.
“Count yourself lucky we haven’t run across a slime dimension since you joined the party,” Cora added with a shudder. “I’d really like to get a new bra while we’re in a civilized dimension, though. My last one was a casualty of that dimension with all the blue sand.”
“How does sand ruin a bra?” Annie asked.
Cora smirked at Byron, who immediately started blushing, and Kip suddenly wanted to hear the entire story that he was sure Byron would never tell them.

The twins have always been close, despite their differences, so when Poe goes missing Kip takes it HARD... From Poe's arc of The Atlas Brothers Break the Multiverse #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

Behind him, Byron and the others called after him. They probably tried to run after him, too, but Kip was desperate and fast and slippery. When he wanted to get away from pursuit, he knew exactly how to. He dodged around corners, slipped down alleyways, leaped over fences, and climbed up a metal fire escape ladder to a building roof one-handed where he collapsed on his back and listened for anyone following him while the tears ran down his cheeks. There may have been a distant shout of his name somewhere below, but no one followed him up to the roof. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to get his breathing under control.
How was he supposed to explain to Byron what it was like to have Poe missing? Yes, Poe was all of their brother, but he was Kip’s twin. Byron and Tennyson couldn’t understand the inherent differences in that distinction. It was like half of Kip was missing. The better half – the smart, caring, gentle, important half. Kip was worthless on his own. What if Poe never came back? What if he was already gone? Who was Kip without his twin?
