In some cases, your novel’s primary category is defined by your target audience rather than by kind of story you are writing.

Choosing the right category for your novel can be a difficult task, especially when the lines between genres blur. However, one effective strategy is to focus on your target audience rather than the type of story you’re telling. In this blog post, we discuss the concept of audience-based categories, exploring how understanding your readers’ preferences and expectations can guide you in selecting the most suitable category for your novel. Whether you’re writing a mystery, romance, or science fiction, aligning your novel’s category with your audience’s interests can significantly enhance its appeal and success.
