Genreville is the home of fantasy, science fiction, and horror publishing. We bring you coverage of forthcoming books, interviews with industry luminaries and rising stars, and occasional intriguing excursions into genre history. We guarantee that every single post will have a connection to at least one genre book or story, author, editor, agent, or publisher. The borders are nebulous and we like them that way, so there are most certainly discussions of paranormal romance, "mainstream" fiction with genre elements, and media tie-ins, as well as coverage of industry events, links to other genre blogs, and occasional salacious gossip; but we are here first and last for the books, and we promise to deliver the literary goods. en-us http://www.publishersweekly.com/blog/400000640.html?nid=4381 Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.
