What are the different genres within country music?
Q. I'm doing a project on music and I chose country music. I need to know what the different types of genres are in country music. Sorry if the question doesn't make sense! Thanks!

What do publishers think about a writer changing genres?
Q. After a writer has published a few books of the same genre, how much will the publisher care if the writer wants to write in a different genre? Will it matter more if the writer is switching to a complete different genre such as mystery/thriller to romance? Is it better to make a small change such as fantasy to science fiction? If the writer does switch between different genres, will the readers be more likely to turn away from the books or will they be more interested in reading the books due to the writers versatility?

A. Some publishers care; most don't. Many writers simply change their nom de plum for other genre to solve the problem. I don't. I use my real, honest to goodness name for everything I write. It doesn't seem to make much difference at all because, I believe, the readers are not put off that I write in several different genre and tend to cross genre in many of my books. On the other hand, I think there are some advantages to writing under a different name for certain things. I wouldn't want my name associated with erotica. Not because I think there is anything wrong with erotica but because readers develop expectations after a while from a specific name and would be put off if I did that. Am I right? I don't know, but I am sure I don't [cont.]
