I’m having a genre problem.
In my query, I classify my novel as fantasy. Plain, simple fantasy. Would it be better for a query to get into a specific sub-genre? Or does it not matter?
I personally can’t figure out what genre I would even classify my novel as. There are some gory parts, so I think dark fantasy. Then again, the setting switches from modern Earth to fictional realms, which makes me lean towards high fantasy. Of course, when I think of high fantasy, the first thing I think of is, like, elves, and my MC is an American teenager.
Basically, I’m confused.
I don’t want to misrepresent my novel to potential agents.
