I just cannot see them as a hybrid of something else. <BR/><BR/>I think you bring up a good point regarding agents saying "if I see another query with this comparison, I'm going to..." Makes me wonder how often that happens. :)Tabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420910182752981979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-24811785930230304312008-08-18T18:25:00.000-07:002008-08-18T18:25:00.000-07:00Oooh-good post!

Like, STAFF ROAD I wanted to call ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST meets a paranormal HAPPY DAYS. Yeah, I know, it doesn't make sense. :)<BR/><BR/>For 24 HOURS I'd go with 24 meets THE BREAKFAST CLUB for tweens.DeenaMLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093257361683249174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-79908023066316226012008-08-18T14:07:00.000-07:002008-08-18T14:07:00.000-07:00Fun!

I've heard some people like the comparisons and others don't.

My book THE JETSETTERS SOCIAL CLUB was pitched as "The A-list meets The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants". <BR/><BR/>And I think the Luxe was actually pitched as Gossip Girl meets _________" and I'm blanking on the other half. 1899? <BR/>I think its in the pub marketplace listing. <BR/><BR/>Mandy<BR/>www.mandyhubbard.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
