I tell you that the publishing industry is highly competitive, that there is a lot of competition for publishing contracts, space in bookstores, and for buyers. Of course, this is true in once sense.

What types of books are selling these days? From what I hear, it\u2019s romance novels. Cozy mysteries seem to be highly popular\u2014that\u2019s a light mystery. Add a charming animal or two and you\u2019re sure to entice readers. Crime mysteries are popular. There is a large science fiction fan base.<\/p>\n
Before you decide what genre to write in, if you are after book sales, be sure to do thorough research into the most popular genres. If this genre isn\u2019t something you know much about, launch a study. Read books in the genre\u2014dozens and dozens of them. Is this a genre you can understand? Is it one you would enjoy writing in?<\/p>\n
