I'm currently working on the proposal for a NF piece I am writing, and have run into a little snag. Hopefully, you can help me.
I'll use a book that already exists as my example, since the answer for that will apply to mine as well. Let's say I am writing a book that explains all the mythology in the Harry Potter series (it's a book that, on every page, has an entry like "Kings Cross Station" then goes on to describe that J.K. Rowling's parents met at this station so it is very important to her, and then the role the station plays in the novels (the book also describes, ya know, more mythological stuff....the Kings Cross one just happened to be on the page I turned to when I was looking through it). The basis for it is for Harry Potter fans better understand the books. I guess.
Anyways, if I am writing this Harry Potter book.... in the proposal when I am discussing similar books on the market, would you recommend that I focus more on mythology books that are out there, or should I only mention other Harry Potter books that are out there. Since it is more likely that a fan of Harry Potter would pick up the book and purchase it, I would say the other Harry Potter books, but I am not 100% confident in this, hence my asking it.
Thanks for any advice you can have, and once again, sorry for all the questions. I hope I explained myself and my situation enough.
