Are You Published? In What Genre?

joyce · May 23, 2007

I was just wondering...how many of you are published and in what genre? I presently have a completed paranormal romance being read by a couple of agents, and a bunch of rejections from others. I was just curious what everyone else was writing and able to get published.

spacejock2 · May 23, 2007

Yes, but only in Australia and NZ. My genre is science fiction humour (think Red Dwarf, Hitchhikers Guide, that sort of thing).

I'm currently writing book four in the series and my agent is shopping the first three around British publishers at the moment.

The good thing about the SF/Humour genre is that it's a specialised niche with very little competition. The bad thing about SF/Humour is that it's a specialised niche.

No.

Unless it's on a poster at the post office. I haven't checked lately.

Maybe I can aspire to that, at least. Nothing else seems possible.

In Romance genre -- Historicals. And in childrens. And non-fiction.

Claudia Gray · May 23, 2007

The first of my four books in the YA supernatural Evernight series will be published by HarperCollins next summer.

johnzakour · May 23, 2007

Humor SF Mystery (think Red Drawf meets Hitchhikers meets Blade Runner.)

Got two YAs coming also in 2008.

Stuart Clark · May 23, 2007

Yes. In Science Fiction. Alien meets Predator meets Jurassic Park kinda thing. Details on my website.

James D. Macdonald · May 23, 2007

Yes.

Science fiction, fantasy, horror, non-fiction, humor, technothriller, and mystery.

See the AW Library for details.

johnrobison · May 23, 2007

My memoir, Look Me in the Eye, is coming out this fall. My next book will be a non fiction work on Asperger's syndrome. My first book is about growing up with Asperger's, where the second will talk more about the condition itself.

SpookyWriter · May 23, 2007

No, and yes. I am not so inspired to do so at this moment in time. Or again? My work isn't about credits, as such, so I have the luxury of writing without the pressure of publication.

Although, I submit someday, I will submit someday.

Sean D. Schaffer · May 23, 2007

No I'm not. I am working toward legitimate publication though, in the Fantasy/SF genre.

ORION · May 23, 2007

My novel Lottery will be out in two months.
Genre?
Um...commercial fiction/women's fiction I guess...

Cassidy · May 23, 2007

yes, short fiction and (as of this fall anyway) a YA novel.

Anne Lyle · May 23, 2007

Yes - non-fiction. It's not difficult to get short articles published in specialist titles, if you don't mind the very modest payments.

Still working on getting my novel into a submittable state, though - much harder than writing a 2,000 word article!

underthecity · May 24, 2007

Yes.

Three nonfiction regional history books.

Articles in radio trade magazine. Here's the latest.

Novelist in Paradise · May 24, 2007

joyce · May 24, 2007

Thanks so much everyone. I was just wondering, especially if I'm writing in a genre that is being stuffed down agents throats so much they are sick of it. I appreciate your inputs, and congratulations on being published, and good luck to those out there like me......still keeping every part on my body crossed that it works out. I'm so crossed I'm starting to get cramps!

glutton · May 24, 2007

Only short fiction so far - one story out, two more accepted and upcoming. Genre? Hardcore warrioress ass-kicking... I mean, heroic fantasy!

NeuroFizz · May 24, 2007

Historical Fiction and Horror so far. Psychological suspense and poetry collection under contract.
