I found a cool website called Writing to Publish which is run by a group of writers on AOL. They’ve put together a handy - and large! – reference site that lists just about every kind of Category or Sub-Category for almost any kind of writing. Not only do they provide definitions, but also examples of books that fall into that category. To me, that’s the most useful part of the site!

My writing focuses on the Fantasy and Mystery genres, but a look into the sub-categories gives you an idea of just how broad the range is within these genres. A very useful site with a good links page to other resources – you’ll be reading for hours!
