Ellen Kushner and Delia Sherman from the Interstitial Arts Foundation join Mary and Dan at World Fantasy to discuss things that fall into the gaps between the genres.
\n
\nHow do publishers, agents, and booksellers deal with titles that are speculative, but that cannot be easily categorized as science fiction, fantasy, horror, paranormal romance, steampunk, or one of the other readily shelvable genres? And how should authors approach writing such titles?
\n
\n(We apologize for Dan's low volume -- neither Producer Jordo nor Howard were present to play engineer and catch the fact that Dan's track wasn't capturing any actual audio. Jordo did what he could to bump Dan's volume up after the fact.)
\n
\nAudiobook Pick-of-the-Week: Ellen Kushner's Swordspoint, narrated by the author along with a full voice cast and with additional cool soundscapes, is one of the Neil Gaiman Presents titles on Audible.
\n
\nWriting Prompt: Try to write something that doesn't fit neatly into the genres you're familiar with.
