From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A genre (pronounced /ˈʒɑːnrə/, also /ˈdʒɑːnrə/; from French, genre /ʒɑ̃ʀ/, "kind" or "sort", from Latin: genus (stem gener-), Greek: genos, γένος) is a loose set of criteria for a category of composition; the term is often used to categorize literature and speech, but is also used for any other form of art or utterance. Genres are vague categories with no fixed boundaries, they are formed by sets of conventions, and many works cross into multiple genres by way of borrowing and recombining these conventions. The scope of the word "genre" is sometimes confined to art and culture, particularly literature and music, but it has a long history in rhetoric as well. In genre studies the concept of genre is not compared to originality. Rather, all works are recognized as either reflecting on or participating in the conventions of genre. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License 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? Asked by Runner - W.C. - Mon Nov 12 20:22:47 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments 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.] Answered by orbitaldata - Mon Nov 12 21:00:43 2007 What's the difference between the techno genres? Q.
