"Fish or Fowl? Where does my book fit in?" This program will help writers understand the commercial fiction genre classifications and how to label their own manuscripts when pitching them. Two bookstore owners, one who also has publishing experience, will offer in-depth knowledge on the fiction genre classifications, note "industry standards" used by vendors, discuss how they deal with cross-genre books, and provide examples of books in each genre and successful cross-genre books. After their presentation, we’ll play a "name that genre" game. The panelists will listen to a few 1-paragraph (250 words max) manuscript pitches from audience members, ask questions if they need to, and advise them on how to classify the genre of their manuscript to an agent or editor. Please RSVP to rsvp@pikespeakwriters.com stating March Write Brain in the subject line. Speakers: Charles Kaine, Proprietor of Last Knight Publishing and the Reader’s Cove Bookstore in Fort Collins, CO Beth Anne Steckiel, Owner of the Beth Anne’s Book Corner bookstore in Colorado Springs, CO
