There were so many to choose from so I did some research on each of them.<\/p>\n<p>I started with the ones that I would have to choose from with Pitch Madness and it became pretty clear to me that my book could fall under a few of the genres. First and foremost, I figured that my novel was a romance due to the love story being the main focus. However, when reading the description of what would be considered a <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1pOIznl\" target=\"_blank\">New Adult<\/a> or Woman\u2019s Fiction, my book fit those too. I was instantly concerned that there was no way I would ever be published if I couldn\u2019t decide what my genre was and my target reader. That was the beginning of my genre struggle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>After days of research I finally decided I was sticking to the romance genre.<\/strong> I felt my book was a better fit there and targeted readers who liked a good love story. New Adult and Woman\u2019s Fiction can offer romance but can also be about the protagonist between the age of 18-30 starting college, a new career or an emotional journey and never touch on falling in love. Readers who wanted no romance would definitely not be interested in my novel.<\/p>\n<p>I settled on one of the major genres and then came an even trickier part. Pitch Madness also offered sub genres for romance novels to set them apart. I was torn between contemporary romance and erotic romance since my book did offer some graphic spice. Contemporary Romance Fiction is after <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1Z6fyzA\" target=\"_blank\">World War II<\/a> and is written to reflect the way of life in the year you are writing about. Erotic Romance Fiction is described as strong sexual content but usually has a plot that may fit into another subgenre. I decided my book was both but unfortunately I could only chose one for Pitch Madness. I wanted to make sure that agents and editors knew my book had sexual content due to some of them don\u2019t represent novels with those elements. Ultimately, I chose to go with <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1Z6f0tp\" target=\"_blank\">Erotic Romance Fiction<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I continue to research genres since new ones are popping up all the time.<\/strong> Sometimes I read a new definition someone has written and wonder if I made the right decision with choosing erotic romance for my novel. I remind myself that the elements that make a story erotic my novel offers so it makes sense but again I still struggle with it.<\/p>\n<p>With all the time spent reading about genres, I noticed that most books have multiple genres and I think that is expected. Some books I have read are a cross between Woman\u2019s Fiction and Mystery while others are romance novels with Science Fiction. My main deciding factor was my target audience. I knew if a reader doesn\u2019t like romance where the characters have a strong sexual relationship then they wouldn\u2019t like my book.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My advice is consider your target audience and go with that first.<\/strong> If your book is under Contemporary Romance but the protagonist falls in love with a FBI agent while on a hunt for a killer, you may want to re think your genre. While the book falls under Contemporary Romance, it could be more suited for <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1SWwIin\" target=\"_blank\">Romantic Suspense<\/a> just in case readers don\u2019t necessarily like stories about FBI agents or killers.<\/p>\n<p>Identifying my target audience helped me determine which genre my novel fell into and I hope it does the same for you!<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<h2>ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog-djackson.weebly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"http:\/\/blog-djackson.weebly.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13955\" title=\"Deanna Jackson\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1446928007-230x300.png\" alt=\"Deanna Jackson\" width=\"150\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1446928007-230x300.png 230w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1446928007-300x391.png 300w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1446928007.png 438w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>I am an unpublished author working on my first romance novel.
