At this point I know more about what it's not (e.g., literary fiction or chick lit) than what it actually is. It may have elements of mystery and/or romance but it has broader appeal than those genres. Stay tuned! Etta Lynn, I’m also trying to find a tight definition for “Upmarket” fiction.

Thu, 28 May 2009 19:38:51 +0000 http://www.booksandsuch.biz/blog/?p=1218#comment-1574 I'm curious to know about trends and titles in children's nonfiction. Thanks for the updates. I'm glad to know that libraries and media specialists are being incorporated more. They are certainly integral to the industry. One of the biggest blows I ever got as an author was when our entire county library system was closed several years ago. I'm so grateful they're running again (at least part time) - they are such dedicated people! I’m curious to know about trends and titles in children’s nonfiction.

I encourage authors who write books that are most appropriate for public libraries to attend PLA--the Public Library Association Convention. It will be held next March in Portland, OR. A list of state library conferences and national conventions can be found at www.ala.org Enjoy BEA! Judy Judy Etta, thanks for confirming what I’ve been “preaching”–the library market is growing.
