## Resource

What kind of story are you writing? That question is actually much trickier to answer than it seems, and that’s because writers and agents look at genre differently. What happens if, after reading the query letter, an agent isn’t clear on your story’s genre? What role do comp titles play in explaining genre? We answer these questions and many more in today’s Hook Your Reader episode. Enjoy! -V.
