Intro to Upmarket Fiction
aka. Book Club Fiction
An industry buzzword term that literary agents are reportedly increasingly requesting - but most people don't realize that the books they're reading or writing fit the description.
Books that meld the best of both worlds of commercial fiction and literary fiction. These works are character-driven, possess a good hook, has quality but accessible writing, a widely connectable theme, and is written with the aim of thoughtful discussion. They're often ideal for book clubs.
