Hi, All!
I see some lit agents list "ethnic" as a category of fiction they are willing to consider. What exactly does this mean/include? Of course I know that ethnicity usually refers to a culture but I want to make sure I'm applying it right. For instance, would a Terry McMillian (Waiting to Exhale, How Stella Got Her Groove) novel fit? Or, better yet, would my soapy contemporary novel about a family of black Creoles fit the ethnic category? (I hope so because it opens the field up to more lit agents.)
