Hi, my book fits into the fiction genre-but can be subclassed as mainstream, commercial, popular culture or Lit Fic. I don't really understand the difference between the four categories, apart from definitions on wikipidea and Goodreads. I don't want to restrict my market-any suggestions on classifying work before submission?
I went to NaNoMo and got my answer-in a very intelligent, well thought through forum.
So do go and join if you are unsure about your genre
Peter, thanks-I did go and look at the categories. I think its best to leave the classification very broad in the beginning.
If you are using Kindle or Smashwords, try pulling up the works already listed in each sub-category (expect thousands) to gain insight into how yours would best fit in; if nothing else, hopefully you could decide what to avoid if only on the grounds that there is an existing plethora.
