She says it matters...
"Genre matters," declares my publisher in her latest newsletter. I seldom argue with my publisher, but I do confess that genre doesn't matter all that much to me. As a reader, I prefer novels that escape genre, defy classification. My favorite authors are those who cross genre, preferably blend it in the same tale. That is the way I write. A good fairytale, to my mind, needs to be true at heart. Fantasy should still need a driver's license. Satire should read like the evening news. Reality is what we imagine it to be. Publisher keeps telling me that I am writing magical realism. Of course, I do. If it isn't magical. It isn't real. henrymitchellbooks.com
