Genre Survey Results

After our foray into literary fiction, we will continue our examination of genre and markets for the following categories:

1. Mysteries/Suspense
2. Horror
3. Comedy/Humor
4. Fantasy
5. Science Fiction
6. General Fiction (realistic fiction)
7. Poetry
8. New Journalism
9. Historical Fiction
10. Romance
11. Westerns
12. Autobiography/Memoir

The further down the list, the more likely we will only touch briefly on these subjects/genres, if we get to them at all this year. As we examine these genres, we will discuss the publishing market, how to write query letters, research and examine places to publish, tips on getting agents, as well as the tropes and techniques used to create effective/publishable fiction and sell your work on the market.
