Are Novel genres helpful or constraining? A bit of both?
Genres are the frames around a story. They help center the reader and prepare them for the kind of experience they're about to have.
As a writer, they're gold. Knowing what goes in them lets me play around with the ideas in ways that are not expected but still provide the necessary result to justify the frame.
Knowing your genre well enough to play with it is the first key to self publishing success.
