WRITING ANGELS AS ALIENS, FANTASY OR SCIENCE FICTION? by Vijaya Schartz
It's
not always easy for a writer to figure out where what they write fits
in the cookie cutter categories imposed by booksellers and promoters.
Unfortunately, if the book doesn't fit perfectly anywhere, it might be
featured on the wrong sites and blogs, displayed on the wrong shelf
where it will not sell, or be ignored completely.
This
is especially true for writers like me, who like to mix genres. Since
I'm rarely satisfied with one straight genre as a reader, the same is
true when I write. My next book blends Science Fiction (set in space,
other planets, and a space station) with Fantasy (immortal angels with
amazing powers, telepathic felines) and Romance (the love story at the
crux of the book). I also like to write strong heroines, evil villains, a
lot of action, and I enjoy portraying the fight between good and
evil... where the margins are often blurred.
So, where does my story fit? It's not literary since I write to entertain. It's not mainstream since Science Fiction and Fantasy are small niche markets. So, what is it?
One thing I have going for me is my voice. Whether I write medieval romance, fantasy, action adventure, or science fiction, the professional reviewers recognize my unique style... and they usually like my brand of fiction. "Phenomenal world building, characters the readers care about, and an intriguing mystery... all the elements one expects from a Vijaya Schartz story! Easily recommended!" CK2sKwipsandKritique.
Originality
and quality are good, I guess, but it takes longer for readers to
discover your particular brand when it is spread over several genres.
And not all are willing to cross genre from medieval to science fiction
to contemporary romance.
The solution? Write for the market? I would never do that. I am proud to write the books of my heart, and I will continue writing them. I may not have as many readers as other popular authors, but my readers are fiercely loyal. They love my stories, and I love them, too. Fortunately, my publishers stick with me because they like my books as well.
So
expect more romance, action, adventure, science fiction, fantasy, or
historical stories, with exotic settings, strong heroines and despicable
villains, where the fight between good and evil is front and center.
Happy Reading!
