Genres

Read Romans 10-12

Romans 12:4 "For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:"

Genres are the parameters of stories marketed to appeal to a specific group of readers. Any story we might want to tell will appeal to certain readers and not interest others.

From romance to mystery, science fiction to westerns, genres have defined what their readers’ expectations of a story will be. Writers will want to get the guidelines for the market we are targeting.

There are differences within the genres themselves. For instance, one romance market may look for a steamy story and another look for relationships rather than sex scenes.
