I found you in... a writing community. I wish I could remember which one.
Question: Do you think it's a good idea to bring up other books in a query letter? As in: "I believe my novel would appeal to anyone who enjoys the descriptive prose of ___." I've read that some appreciate getting the gist of the writing style while others don't like comparisons. What do you think? Is there an effective way to utilize this technique?
