Genres

Here is a list of the available genres.

When setting up a project, please select a small number of genres. Most projects will have one genre; two or three should be sufficient for any project. Think of genres like a library or bookstore shelf: on which shelf would you find this particular book?

Note that the top of the list is fiction. Non-fiction genres are listed at the bottom. When setting up a project, please do not mix fiction and non-fiction genres. (One exception may be "Classics (Greek and Latin antiquity)", where Classic nonfiction would also be used.)

Please ask your MC if you have any questions about which genre(s) to use.
