Miss Snark's First Victim
I'm struggling with how to label my book. I consider it realistic fiction and a coming of age story. But my characters are in their early twenties, so I wonder if I'm expected to label it New Adult. I'm worried that will create expectations about, say, Beautiful Disaster style sex scenes, which my book does not contain. Any help?
ReplyDeleteIf in doubt, label it adult. "coming of age" is not technically a genre, so you will have to hone in on that a bit better. Is it upmarket? Contemporary? But, yeah, just open it up to "adult", because ultimately it'll be an editor who decides where it belongs.
