Literary fiction, commercial fiction, genre fiction, crossover fiction, reading-group fiction… I’m not looking for labels but live in a state of perpetual hope that the next manuscript I read will be a great story that’s brilliantly well told and beautifully written, that it will engage my brain and insist I turn the next page, that it will somehow take me by surprise, that it will have a voice all of its own. And then I want to work closely with the author to help them reach as many readers as possible – and viewers and listeners too – around the world.
