Writing Tip: Read Outside Your Genre, via Victoria Grefer

Howdy Internet Wayfarers!

Today’s link is from a fellow fantasy writer I found talking about her new article on Twitter. Victoria Grefer, author of The Hezeroth Trilogy, wrote an article about the benefits of reading outside your genre.

Obviously, her genre, and mine, is sword and sorcery fantasy literature. However, Grefer lists several things that she got from British crime novels: a breather from fantasy, new and interest story construction, and the simple pleasure of reading something different.

Those of you who know me outside of this blog know that I love Sherlock Holmes, and almost anything written by Jane Austen. So, what I’m really saying is: I get you Victoria Grefer. I get you.

Enjoy your day my friends,

Zac
