If I were to write a book in a new genre, I might decide to do a women’s fiction novel. I’ve been attracted to this idea for a while now. Believe it or not, writing category or mainstream romances does have some rules that an author has to follow, and i don’t think they vary too much from publisher to publisher. I’ve been told that you have a little more scope if you’re writing women’s fiction.
Actually, I have a couple of things that really might fit that new category. One is called Tarnished Silver, and I’m in the process of revising it. It’s a romance, but it’s much more too.
Another genre I’d be interested in is science fiction. I’ve already written a book with elements of science fiction, but it was first and foremost a romance. I’ve read some really good sci/fi so it would be nice to give it a try.
If I could, I wouldn’t mind doing a cozy mystery, but I don’t think I have the ability to do it.
So, what about you? What genre would you love to write in?
I typically write fantasy, I've dabbled in paranormal and mystery, but I think a genre I would like to try would be historical fiction and maybe sci fi. Both I find require a lot of research which seems daunting to get right. But who knows, maybe one day I'll spread my wings and take on the challenge.
ReplyDeleteI bet once you got started on the research it wouldn't be so bad. The internet sure makes it easier. I have one fantasy out, but that's not my calling. Historical fiction sounds good to me.
