Derivative Hollywood

Author T. Ellery Hodges has written a great blog post about the difficulties facing cross-genre fiction in Hollywood. He’s active on kboards, a message board for readers and authors I frequent, and started a great conversation on the topic there – this blog post is the result. He mentions Alan Lennox and the Temp Job of Doom in his list of examples towards the end – in the blog post, we came up with “Urban Science Fiction” and “Comedic Thriller” as descriptive genres for the book, genres that don’t actually exist as supported categories on Amazon or any other vendor site. That makes it a little more difficult for books like mine (or those of the other authors he mentions) to gain visibility. Anyway, he says it better than I can – take a look!
