Literary genre is used by bookstores to separate books into different sections. It’s also a matter of life and death for many readers/writers to assign a genre or not to the book of another writer.

Before putting all your hopes into the standard publishing industry and spend years discovering the romantic side of rejection letters here is some tough love you should deal with:
The best time to write was before you opened your browser, visited this website, and read this article.
