Will you be buying The Casual Vacancy?

There is such a thing as fiction with autobiographical elements. I'm sure Jane Eyre falls into that catagory. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath certainly does. It's all still fiction though.

Louise, I understand that. No problem.. :)

I think, for instance.. "Jane Eyre" will be considered a work of non-fiction while "Harry Potter" is a fiction novel and "The Lucky One" by Nicholas Sparks will be called 'romantic fiction' because in reality photographs don't work as lucky charms.

This is what I think but I'm really confused. I submit my work as 'literary fiction' though.

Louise, I write 'romantic fiction'.

p.s. I'm sorry people, you have a way of pouncing upon someone who makes a mistake. Not to be rude, just tone it down a bit.
