An Author's Guide to Literary Genres, Volume 1: Juvenile (Children's) Nonfiction

Authors, book marketers, and publishers will find it easy to identify a book’s most appropriate literary genre using this handy guide. While the Bowker, Dewey, and Library of Congress classification systems, as well as those for Amazon and author site Goodreads, are discussed, the tables in this guide are based on the Book Industry Study Group’s BISACs for literary genres. Definitions and sample titles of books actually in production, as well as the total ISBNs available from Baker & Taylor, are included for each category. The Topic Index lists topics alphabetically, with options of appropriate BISACs for each. Anyone who works in the book publishing industry will want this book on their library shelf.
