(I could be so wrong - I hope.)<BR/><BR/>At this stage of the game I'll take whatever shelf space is offered, but first I need better direction. Perhaps I should query broad spectrum agents.Kath Calarcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04286836397248059317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464672471650659120.post-81533142125628533452008-09-06T14:58:00.000-04:002008-09-06T14:58:00.000-04:00Devon, Lit Fic has crossed my mind - but I don't l...Devon, Lit Fic has crossed my mind - but I don't like getting too literary. Part of my plan is to query agents and let them figure me out.

Probably more so women because they'd love to know what's going on in a guy's mind. Men because it is their head you're in, so they'll want to relate. <BR/><BR/>I guess it matters in terms of how your story is written. If it's character driven, then definitely literary. If it's plot driven, then commercial. Either way, I can't <I>not</I> see it appealing to anyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464672471650659120.post-24333394899158174132008-09-06T13:01:00.000-04:002008-09-06T13:01:00.000-04:00Gut instinct -- lit fiction.

Works better. Different names, different genres, but I can cross borders and do multi-genre when I feel like it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
