I got a rejection where the agent said they went back and forth and strongly considered the novel (so close!), but they didn't have a clear vision on how to market. What do you do to help prospective agents in this area? Better comp titles? Blog post on author site with a plan? #writingcommunity

A minimalistic green wall with a framed painting, books, and candles arranged neatly on a table. 4. A wooden bookshelf filled with old, worn books in dim lighting. 5. Close-up of antique books with leather-bound covers in shades of green and brown, with visible gold detailing on the spines. 6. A café setting with small wooden tables, coffee, pastries, and an open book resting on one of the tables. 7. Handwritten text on sepia-toned paper, evoking a sense of nostalgia. 8. A person wearing red knit fingerless gloves and a cream sweater, touching a tree trunk with an attached piece of text. The centersquare says house of valentine mood boardA dark, moody moodboard labeled ‘House of Valentine Moodboard’ at the center in elegant cursive text. Surrounding it are nine sections: 1. A hand with clawed nails dragging across wooden floorboards, leaving deep scratches. 2. Text on a textured background that reads, ‘When Night Comes’ in a serif font. 3. A close-up of a golden, cat-like eye with a vertical slit pupil, surrounded by shadowed skin. 4. A wide-open mouth with sharp, pointed fangs 5. A grand ballroom scene filled with people in elegant historical attire, dancing beneath ornate chandeliers. 6. A hand with long, deep red nails holding a glass of dark red wine 7. The word ‘Run’ written in bold serif font on a completely black background 8. A dagger with intricate designs on the hilt resting next to a single stemmed rose and a torn piece of paper with faded text."If you could live for centuries—through famine and plague, through wars that razed cities and left ash in their wake, that not even a bomb crashing through your home could destroy you—would you choose immortality? Wouldn’t you dream of such a gift? To remain as you were as the world crumbles around you, and rebuilds itself, endlessly? Of course you would. That’s the allure, isn’t it? The whispered fantasy of endless time, of infinite existence. But let me tell you: it’s a lie. A cruel, promise. Because after enough centuries, you begin to wish for the plague to ravage your body, to tear through your flesh and wring you dry of life. You begin to long for the bomb to shatter you, burn away your skin until you’re nothing but bone and ash. You’d pray for the famine to hollow you out, for hunger to gnaw at your insides so violently that you might finally collapse under the weight of mortality. Because the hunger you live with— No, the hunger that you are—is worse." -- Excerpt From Soren Valentine's JournalWhen anthropology student Hazel Adler travels to a remote Swiss village for her thesis, she expects folklore and forgotten traditions—not a hidden world of vampires, deadly politics, and a centennial festival that’s more nightmare than celebration. She was never meant to survive it. Her only lifeline? Soren Valentine—a vampire with a past as blood-soaked as his fangs. As the lines between myth and reality blur, Hazel must fight to survive in more ways than one. Trusting Soren may be her only chance—but the monster who saved her life hides dangerous secrets of his own. Survival means risking everything. House of Valentine is a romantic gothic fantasy filled with sharp fangs, fragile alliances, and a slow-burn romance that will leave you breathless.
