Summer Reading Club

You are invited to join the June 1-August 31, 2022 #kidlit Comps Summer Reading Club and read all summer long. The goal is to build a list of comps (published children’s books like yours) to use in your query when you send out your #kidlit manuscript.​

Q. What is the #kidlit Comps Summer Reading Club?
A. A digital reading log in a private Facebook Group.

#kidlit Comps Summer Reading Club Rules:
1. Read one *possible* comp a week (a children’s book like yours)
2. in June, July, and August.
3. Post a book emoji 📚 with a # to record it: 📚1, 📚2, etc.
4. Build a list of comps for your query
5. by selecting the best *possible* comps🥇 at the end of each month.


Q. Do you post the book title, too?
A. No. Only post a book emoji: 📚. Book comps are a sales tool. Save this important sales information for your query letter.


Why read comps?

Book comps can help you:

  • Write your book
  • Revise your book
  • Sell your book

Q. Can you join without downloading the e-book?
A. No. I’ve had too many friends lose control of their social media accounts to hackers, so I added this extra step as a precaution.

I look forward to reading with you this summer!

Ready or Not, Here I Come!

Ready or Not, Here I Come! Board Book

Booktalk: In this rhyming hide-and-seek board book, the animals hide and the zookeeper seeks. Children learning to read can use the clues typed in color, the position words in, on, off, into, below, above, and near, to help them find the animals.
