Question: When a literary agent says: “I take literary fiction and genre fiction.” Does science fiction fit into those?
I’m trying to get my finished novel published, and to do this I am trying to find an agent. But every time I look at an agents expectations, it doesn’t say science fiction, it says literary/genre fiction or the like. Is this because all the agents I’m looking at don’t like science fiction, or does science fiction fit into these categories?

Answer by Steve
Well, science fiction is considered a genre, AFAIK, so I’d say the agent should consider it. But if you can find someone who specifically says they take science fiction, query him in preference to someone who just says “genre fiction”.
Question by B: Who are some literary authors who were (in their own time) considered “popular fiction”?
Can anybody help me out? I need to think of some fictional authors who are now considered part of the canon/considered to be “high-brow”: but were (when they were alive) considered popular?
Just realised the question doesn’t make sense: i mean:
Who are some literary authors “who were (in their own time) considered WRITERS OF popular fiction? 
Thanks!

Agatha Christie.
Maybe Tolkien or C.S. Lewis?

Question by ??????????: What is meant by “literary or commercial fiction” ?
I keep seeing this when agents list their interests. For example: “Literary and commercial fiction, historical fiction, women’s fiction, thrillers, mysteryies, young adult…”
Would that mean any fiction? Would literary and commercial fiction by chance mean fantasy or sci fi?

Answer by Aeirlys
Literary and commercial fiction is the “everything else” genre of fiction. For other genres, it’s easy to define what they are, and generally their authors will tell you. Sci-fi/fantasy wouldn’t be fall into the literary and commercial genre because it has it’s own genre.

Read the title.What would the literary form be? An allegory, didactic fiction, history, myth, fable, parable? What is the literary form of the story of David and Goliath.
Also, what is the literary meaning of David and Goliath?
like what caused it to become so popular and like in what time period did it start to become big and what caused it historically (if anything) I am an avid reader and i was curios as to how such a futuristic genre could come to be
I was thinking of using the literary present, but on the sites I’ve been to, they seem to only apply to fiction? I guess I can consider a work such as “Narrative of Frederick Douglass” history, but I’d only do that if I were using it as a secondary source.
I wouldn’t be surprised if anyone responded to me with “literary present,” but I’d like a pretty thorough explanation.
