The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
Sneaky Prologues That Sizzle

I don't love this title.

The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
Sneaky Prologues That Sizzle

I think it's a little bit forgettable.

The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
Sneaky Prologues That Sizzle

I would love to see what your other options are.

The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
Sneaky Prologues That Sizzle

When I request full manuscripts as part of my querying process, I always ask for a list of alternate titles because

The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
Sneaky Prologues That Sizzle

It makes me so curious about other ways that authors see their own work, other title ideas that they have.

The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
Sneaky Prologues That Sizzle

And I usually end up almost always picking one off the list that wasn't their lead title.

The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
Sneaky Prologues That Sizzle

So yeah, I find this a little bit forgettable.

The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
Sneaky Prologues That Sizzle

So I would look at this one again.

The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
Sneaky Prologues That Sizzle

Okay, back now to the comps here.

The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
Sneaky Prologues That Sizzle

So as much as I love that you're picking Women are the Fiercest Creatures, and I don't think that it's necessarily the wrong comp here.

The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
Sneaky Prologues That Sizzle

Comps that I think are a bit more fine-tuned, let's just say, would be Scandal.

The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
Sneaky Prologues That Sizzle

Why wouldn't we comp to Scandal?

The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
Sneaky Prologues That Sizzle

I mean, it's not the most up-to-date show, but everybody loves Scandal.

The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
Sneaky Prologues That Sizzle

And so I would say Scandal is an option.

The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
Sneaky Prologues That Sizzle

Another one I was trying to think I've read so many Ellen Hildebrand books, and I was trying to figure out before we came online, like, what was the Ellen Hildebrand book about a torpedoed political career?

The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
Sneaky Prologues That Sizzle

I'm pretty sure it's 28 summers fact check me on that.

The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
Sneaky Prologues That Sizzle

Because again, I did a really quick Google before we came online.

The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
Sneaky Prologues That Sizzle

But the Ellen Hildebrand book 28 summers, because I'm pretty sure that CC, did you read that one?

The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
Sneaky Prologues That Sizzle

Do you know which one I'm talking about?
