Ask the Editor Hour with Tomeworks: Subgenres and the Niching Down

The editing process can be confusing and scary, but the Tomeworks editors are here to help! Do you have questions about writing, editing, or publishing? We would love to answer them. That's why every month we host Ask the Editor Hour, where we address your most burning questions.

This month, we've selected several questions about determining your genre. What even is a sub-genre or a sub-sub genre anyway? Do I need to think about these things while I'm trying to write my book? How do I figure out how my book fits into the market? Is this something I'll need to do before I query an agent, or is that part of their job? Can I go too far into a niche and end up scaring away readers? What do I do if there's nothing like my book out there? We'll discuss all of these and answer YOUR questions too!
