Currently, there are three main types of novels, the genre of literature and the general public.

    * Genre Fiction, aka the fiction category is the most popular and widely read. Can they in thrillers, horror novels, science fiction novels and so on are shared.
    * Literary fiction is much less commercial, and if your novel is a literary prize to win, or give you made a video that it is unlikely to make you rich.
    Mainstream Fiction *, you can expect somewhere in between.
Beyond the popularity, but what are the main differences between these three types of novels? Let us consider them in turn:
