Writers feel less encouraged to think outside the box (or get convinced that something truly innovative won't sell), while readers get pushed into comfort zones too easily.

And publisher acceptance.<br />I can see you now ... organizing the protest groups, marching up and down the sidewalks in front of the offices of the Only-formula-fiction-accepted-here publishers with your sign "Bend the Genres!" ... being hauled off to jail, the moving speech at the arraignment, courtroom filled with cheering authors, the disruption, the riot, getting on the front page as the leader of the only grassroots authors protest group, becoming the Heroine of struggling writers everywhere .... Opps went to far with that one. Just wanna say thanks again.

The Seven Genre Solution shows you have a good natured respect for your potential audience for this book. OF COURSE, we want to read Bollywood, steampunk, multiculturalism et al! All of us will pick three or four to focus on, like I just did!
