Hi there,
I've repeatedly heard that agents dislike it when a manuscript is mislabeled, (so, if it's horror and the author represents it as something other than horror in the query, that's really bad.) My book is definitely fantasy but there's a lot of romance between the characters and I also drew a lot from Greek mythology, which I've liked since I was a kid.
Should I leave the label as "fantasy" or should I label it as "fantasy with romance influences and drawing from Greek mythology" or something of that sort? If just "fantasy" is okay, I don't mind at all, but I don't want my query to be thrown out because I mislabeled it.
Thank you very much for your time.
