The Writers Page

"Crafts have to have clothes...
Quote by: Thomas Fuller
Genre has gotten complicated. Most new writers are unsure what genre they write in. Not knowing your genre makes finding comps more complicated. My own struggles in genre have forced me to begin a series of research to discover the complexities of this issue.
I chose this quote because our stories must wear clothes to catch the reader's eye. The clothes we dress our books with are its genre.
