Hi, I'm new here and could really use some help.
I've searched through older posts here trying to find out how to find comparables for my manuscripts.
My searches keep turning up classics. I've tried advanced search on amazon, searches on goodreads, library searches, bookstores, and a general google search.
I'd really like to prepare to send query letters to agents, but this has got me stopped cold.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I've edited my original post to add what I have so far regarding my query ideas for my manuscript, "The Adventures of Jet". I hope the additional information helps clear things up.
Basically, it's set on a horse farm where horses talk to each other not people. They do, however, believe that the whole world revolves around them and we people are here to help them out and they are the ones really in charge. For example, we live in "people barns" and the horses are the real riding instructors, we're just around to help out.
"What the Sam hill is Jet going to do now? Born in the deep south, Jet has spent his whole life on a hobby ranch with his momma and his herd. Suddenly, company arrives. The daughter of the ranch has come to say goodbye to her parents and leave her horse behind. She has a new job far away in the northeast and wants to bring a different horse along, one younger and more suited to the long trip. Before he can say, “Good Gracious,” he’s standing in a stall in a barn full of complete strangers not knowing where he will fit in. Yet, fitting in is only one challenge he has to face. Can you say, “lesson teacher school”? New home, new friends, new family, and school to boot. “Good Gracious!”
Away from home and his momma for the first time ever, Jet must rely on the knowledge she passed down, and his own courage to grab hold of the chances his new adventure has given him."
Thank you for all the quick responses.
