Where do I start? So many questions! Finding good comps can be overwhelming. Please join us as we pool ideas, strategies, and expertise on how to go about this daunting, but necessary, task. This Connect meeting will have a slightly different format. Stacey will start the session by sharing her process for finding comps including specific examples. Then, the session will be turned over to attendees for their input. We're hoping for significant participation from members so be prepared to share your questions, strategies, etc. Also, we encourage everyone to bring examples of comps for one or more of your manuscripts to share with the group and be ready to explain why you chose them. No matter where you are in your writing/illustrating journey, we all eventually need comps so please join us as we learn and grow together!
