Hi there!

I have a question about book category.

I have adapted a journal that I kept during two hurricane evacuations (Katrina and Rita). It's still in journal format, but it now has all of the background needed to bring a reader along for the ride with me.

My book doesn't seem to fit nicely into any category, even though it has elements of a lot of different types. Is there a word for this type of book? Or am I going to be stuck explaining the whole thing as what it kind of is, but mostly isn't?

Thanks!

PS-- Thanks so much to those of you who wrote about the dangers of Publish America and the New York Literary Agency. I think I'll end up owing you forever.

If written in first person it would be considered a memoir.
