A slightly left of centre guide to the mechanics, --and plumbers--, of the fiction writers world.

This ebook will disclose the background information that defines genre in the publishing industry. This is the stuff no-one will teach you, mainly because it doesn't matter. Here you will learn the finer points of category or genre fiction. Romance, fantasy, science fiction; the author has extensive knowledge in none of these areas. But the little he does know he is more than willing to share.

Six of the major genres are examined regarding length, naming characters, plot and setting. Each genre is then fleshed out with a sample of creative writing that illustrates several of the points covered.

The author guarantees that this e-book will not in any way improve your writing but does guarantee at least a raised eyebrow, or a snort, a shake of the head, a chuckle, perhaps a guffaw. Occasionally there may be tears and a shortness of breath. Please note that laughing your head off is not covered by most private health insurance providers.

Mark Lawrence was born in Champagne-Urbanan, Illinois, to British parents but moved to the UK at the age of one. He went back to the US after taking a PhD in mathematics at Imperial College to work on a variety of research projects including the ‘Star Wars’ missile defence programme.

Returning to the UK, he has worked mainly on image processing and decision/reasoning theory. He says he never had any ambition to be a writer so was very surprised when a half-hearted attempt to find an agent turned into a global publishing deal overnight.

His first trilogy, The Broken Empire, has been universally acclaimed as a ground-breaking work of fantasy, and both Emperor of Thorns and The Liar’s Key have won the Gemmell Legend award for best fantasy novel. Mark is married, with four children, and lives in Bristol.
