Synopsis

Ever wonder about what traits define your favorite genre? Ever needed to check what was meant when a book is described as a feghoot, or epistolary, or gaspunk? Ever wanted to write something in a genre you aren’t familiar with, and need a place to start plotting from? This book is for you. From 3-sentence fiction to multi-book series, from abecedariums to zombies, from cozy to madcap to minimalist to maximalist, this is one guide to genres which have stood the test of time, and to genres which are emerging to take their own shots at immortality. Is your latest work one of the former, or will it be the latter? Explore! Engage! Discover!
