How to Write a Book | 9. GENRE

تفصیل

In this ninth episode of How to Write a Book, Elizabeth Day’s new podclass series, hosts Sara Collins, Sharmaine Lovegrove and Nelle Andrew discuss genre. From literary fiction to romance and even the occasional fantasy novel, no genre is left un-discussed. What has genre-blending got to do with braiding a Senegalese Twist? Should writers stick to one genre or experiment across multiple? And why should genre be thought of as an identity for your book? Our three experts are here to help you answer these questions. Together, Sara, Sharmaine and Nelle are your on-hand writing community giving you the push you need to get started on that novel, memoir, or piece of non fiction you've always dreamed of writing. And as ever, Elizabeth ends the episode with her own final reflections. We hope you enjoy our ninth episode. Stay tuned for next week’s episode on… GENRE.
