I always recommend that novelists find the nonfiction news hooks in their
fiction, and use them to find readers interested in those topics through guest
blog posts on
niche blogs or by using them to get publicity — free media exposure — for their books.
I would be far more interested in seeing a list that breaks down mystery, romance, science
fiction genres — but even then it could get so
niche market driven that that the list becomes less meaningful to me as a reader (though we could have as much fun as this Melville House
blog post in coming up with our own possible lists) So what about for you?
