time-bending and space, but with less aliens at war and more rockets, astronauts, and
blackholes.
Urban Fantasy/Magical Realism, based mostly in our reality with minimal dragons and vampires.
Literary Speculative, go ahead and make it weird.
Literary Young Adult, ideally speculative, or with unique and surprising literary devices.
Genres of Interest in Non-Fiction:
Memoir, specifically female athletes and professionals
Behavioural Economics, Development and Psychology
Sport Science, Fitness, and Nutrition (not including dieting/ weight-loss/ fasting)
Meditation/Mindfulness
Modern Feminism
Essay collections, especially memoir and humorous in the vein of David Sedaris, or combining
nature and life or philosophy.
