It’s usually only a few paragraphs or so in which you compare your idea to successful, fairly recent books in the marketplace. Many writers hate the comparison section. And no, hate is not too strong a word. For some, the comparison section (or “comps,” as the cool kids call it) ranks near the top of the list, along with …

So, one day before leaving for sixth grade, he did something. To this day, I don’t know exactly …
