I started this newsletter as something else, an undemanded demand from the current publishing climate to talk about your books on every possible outlet. Naturally, I hated it and did not know what to say.

In 2024, I am re-starting it as HYBRID GENRE, a place where I will talk about writing (both within and without the structure of NY publishing), about books I read, and A Lot of Feelings as I navigate this whole thing. My published books aren’t easy categorized as fantasy or science fiction, and I like that about them. Growing up, I wanted to be a genre writer but I had a very one-tone Lord of the Rings type of idea about books. It’s different now, the world is different and so am I.

Which, of course, might explain the name. I am very clever, obviously.

This newsletter is going to be monthly, where I will talk about my writing, behind-the-scenes, books I’m reading, shows I’m watching. A lot of it is similar to before 2024, but I’m going to focus more on the quiet joys of living these things. (Isn’t that all of us?)

Hopefully, you’ll like what I have to say.

<3, Tanvi
