CHAT TOPIC IS "GENRE"

http://writerschatroom.com 

The Writers Chatroom is pleased to introduce this Wednesday's chat, "All About Genres", moderated by Linda J. Hutchinson.  

Please feel free to pass this announcement on to anyone or any groups that you think may be interested.  Thank you.



Do you know the differences between “commercial” fiction, “literary fiction” and “mainstream” fiction?  How about the difference between “chick lit” and “women’s fiction”?  Which genres have the most in common?  What about sub-genres?

 

We’ll be exploring “genres”.  Bring the names of your favorite authors and the links to their websites for an evening of interactive information sharing. 

 

I’ll be providing a number of links as well as the definitions and some examples for all those “genres”. 

 

You bring the chocolate—I’ll bring the door prize!
