Got a genre that is not on the list of choices? Then add it to the list here and we'll see if it's appropriate and then if so [Font] will put it towards [Hedda]. This page is ran by [-deleted-] so feel free to ask him anything.

New! Perhaps the best way to approach this would be to have a section where you could select either fictional or factual, then select genre, then target market.

So having Factual - travel, (which could be about Spain) would be noticeably different from Fictional - Travel (which could be about a made up land) then with the addition of target group you could extend the categorization of your work to: Fictional - Travel - Young Adult

To make this more logical I have removed the following genres.

removed genres: Non-fiction, Young Adult Fiction
