I’m having a hard time trying to figure out the category for my manuscript, how do I make this decision?
Don’t be overly concerned with the category of your writing. Agents and editors are busy and tend to review queries and proposals quickly. The wrong or inappropriate category listing on your manuscript could pigeon hole you into something you are not. Let the writing speak for itself and the agent or editor decide what category it should be, they will anyway. Compare your writing to another author or book, but be careful, if you list nothing but New York Times bestselling authors and titles, then you won’t be taken seriously. Do some research of current titles in stores and find those that favorably compare to your own that is the best approach.
