Choosing The Right Genre
Eva and Katryn discuss everything genre--from its distinction from age category, to market fluctuations and saturation. Eva speaks with rapturous enthusiasm about the joys of being a teen (& as always pays homage to our queen, Judy Blume), while Katryn talks herself into ‘yeti romance’ as a lucrative genre.
*Content warnings: True crime, sexual assault (no details, only in reference). Also, as a self-callout note, Katryn refers to women at times when “women and nonbinary/non-gender conforming folks” would be more accurate. Working towards being better and more consistent at this!
