Last week, readers voted for the antagonist in the photo below. Now that we have a protagonist and an antagonist, we need to choose a genre for our YA story. I’m listing only the most general genres. Which genre do you think would best fit with our main characters? Please vote for the one you prefer in the comments. If you want to mash up a couple–like a comic mystery–go right ahead. Can’t wait to see what readers choose!
- Romance
- Mystery
- Thriller
- Scifi
- Fantasy
- Historical fiction–please also mention era
- Comedy
- Contemporary drama
