Genre Expectations / Plot / 4:39

Genre expectations are reader expectations of the plot they will encounter. With all the books on the electronic and physical shelves, a classification system more than Fiction and NonFiction is necessary.

Here comes Genre to save the day, like the famed Mighty Mouse.

We have 10 major genres of fiction and countless subgenres within each category—and then we have stories that fuse genres or bend the genre boundaries.

As long as we writers interest, amuse, or instruct our readers, that’s all that matters.
