Sometimes it is easy as a book lover to get caught in the endless array of genres, but it does not limit an author’s ability to explore their literary horizons. As a writer, book genres control the outskirts of the storyline and how you tell it to the world. Authors need to associate their writing style into certain book genres, because it sets the tone and pace of the story, and serves as a blueprint for different types of plots that fulfils readers’ expectations.

Fiction and non-fiction can be seen as two main categories that encompass a broader spectrum of book genres like romance, horror, fantasy, thriller, memoir, and suspense. Like any other industry, fans have their favourites. Some prefer to read a budding romance book between two young souls and some have a knack for chilling suspense that keeps them on the edge of their seat.
