Growing Room 2019 presents The Changing Landscape of Genre Writing and Publishing, with Arley McNeney, Emily Pohl-Weary, Yilin Wang, and Erin McQuiston. Moderated by Mallory Tater, author of This Will Be Good.

Genre fiction, such as fantasy, science fiction, horror, mystery, or romance, is often marginalized in the world of CanLit. Simultaneously, genre writing is widely loved by both adult and YA readers. It’s a world of its own with genre magazines, conventions, internet communities, and fandoms, along with recent developments such as increasing focus on diversity and a rise in self-publishing. Join these three writers as they share their experiences navigating the ever-evolving landscape of genre writing.
