If you're wondering about Innovative, Literary, and Genre Fiction, the terminology, goals and world-views, associated with the different types, and what you should write, watch the slidedeck below. You'll need to pause to read some of the slides as they go into some detail.
The drop-down menu below this page, which is Other Ways to Study, displays several sub-pages with brief descriptions of the various classes and methods to study that I offer outside of Fedora. You can discuss with me the best plan for you first if you wish. You can order some through the Store on this site using credit card, or by PayPal, sending a check or money order.
Others you purchase through the various excellent Institutions I'm proud and delighted to teach with.
Editing is also available not at the industry standard of 75 dollars an hour but instead at my rate, which is 30 dollars an hour. I like to make it as affordable for writers and aspiring writers as possible.

To Familiarize Yourself with Literary, Avant-Garde (Experimental) and Genre Fiction
You can watch the slidedeck move below taking you through three types of literature to see which community you fit into most. You may combine, and even like them all. Avant-Garde hangs out in the classroom with Literary. Avant-Garde plays bumper cars with Genre Fiction, which includes popular types such as Thriller, Romance, Fantasy, Suspense, Science Fiction, Horror.
Avant-Garde pushes past rules in new ways to explore pristine territory. Literary breaks rules in subtle ways such as eccentric narrator's voice. Pure Genre is structurally architectural, powerfully moving attentive readers through an archetypal experience that appeals to the masses with a direct, linear sense of their lives. Genre readers tend to like the gates closed at the end of the narrative, and Avant-Garde like the sense they've broken down the fence and stormed through.
