When a Book is DOA: Dead Genres in Publishing
Описание
You asked for an in-depth video on dead genres in traditional publishing, so I'm doing a deep dive. I'm talking about dead genres, dead tropes, dead vs. longshot, things that have never taken off in YA, market saturation, and what to do if you have a "dead" book.
Jump to 29:00 to learn what to do if you want to write a "dead" book, or if you have one.
Yes, it's a long one. Sorry, not sorry.
