Ensuring Your Plot and Climax Match Your Genre

  • Summary

  • Today, Bianca, Carly, and CeCe critique a speculative fiction query and a literary fiction one.

    They discuss avoiding confusion in your query letter; using names, rather than pronouns, in queries; ensuring your plot and climax match your genre; writing interiority that reflects your characters' realities; title expectations for literary fiction; avoiding being too vague with your plot; and the challenges of writing in epistolary form.
