A simile is a figure of speech in which the subject is compared to another subject.
For example:"The snow was like a blanket"
Simile is the comparison of two unlike things using like or as.

If this is for authoring a work. Similes meaning in the category
is often partnered with a number of works you agree to write
in a specified time period. Example for novels 6 novels in 10
years, in the area of mysteries and their similes. This second
notice is sort of a status that they require of you to keep an eye
on the market of sales trends. This being the area that you can
write a similes of the best seller, due to excessive demand and
you can grab some of that sales overdraw when shortage of
copies is the long season ahead for another publisher. Hope it
is about books for your question.

A simile is a comparison of two things using like or as. Usually one thing is easily understood and the other is hard to explain.

Similes differ from metaphors in that a simile usually uses "like" or "as." A metaphor doesn't just compare the two subjects -- it says that one IS the other.
Simile: "The clouds are like cotton candy."
Metaphor: "The clouds are cotton candy."
