As our director @kistulentz says, Genre is a distinction most important to librarians and book stores. To writers, it should be irrelevant.

[Emily Raboteau @emilyraboteau]

MFA programs need to stop being genre provincialists about creative writing.

"This whole notion of 'genre' is more of a marketing category for publishers than anything else; a well-written book is a well-written book." https://t.co/mzAZihAX5r
