But there definitely seems to be an emphasis on contemporary over fantasy/sci fi at the moment.

All I hear lately is that sci-fi is a hard sell (which I thoroughly disagree with) and it's completely disheartening seeing as I write and read sci-fi. I find it so inspiring that you've got 13 novels under your belt! Wow! Congrats on finishing your latest draft!Erin L.

I need to put you in my "What Inspires Me" section next week. You rock. Marketability and such is a confidence killer, but you wrote the book, and you love it, and saving it until the market is better suited for it is totally fine! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
