Week 6:  "Building Base Knowledge - Genre" - back in Week #1's assignments I chose to follow RT Book Reviews. I can offer very little to romance readers in terms of Readers Advisory.That's why I hope to learn some helpful tips from this magazine and/or website.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that they review not only Romance titles that we always file in our Romance section, but other mainstream books in 'RT Genre Spotlight.' When I clicked on that heading, I found subgenres of YA, Paranormal, Erotica, Sci Fi-Fantasy, Mystery, Mainstream & Inspirational. For myself, I'm going to expore further the 'Mystery' subgenre. I've never been averse to some romance in my mystery  - I'll read a few that are romance, with a bit, or lot, of mystery. For RA work, I will explore the other subgenre they offer.

I discovered that the section "Community News' contains 3 selections. They are as follows - 'RT Community Info,' 'Aspiring Authors,' and 'Booksellers.' Under the 'Aspiring Authors,' writers can find helpful links like 'Manuscript Evaluation,' Find an Agent,' Recommended Books for Writers,' and much more. 'Booksellers' leads us directly into the booksellers world via  'RT Booksellers Corner.'
