Katrin Horowitz replied to the discussion 'What IS Literary Fiction?' in the group Literary Fiction Writers
"It sounds like you have lots of options for your book, including creative nonfiction if you want to go that route. In the end, there's no one answer to where a book fits -- it's what you and your publisher are most comfortable…"

"Thanks, Katrin.
I have a problem trying to fit my novel in anywhere. It is all true except for the names and places. It is fiction and non-fiction. It is about very horrible physical and mental abuse, attempted murder, and murder. It has…"
Katrin Horowitz replied to the discussion 'What IS Literary Fiction?' in the group Literary Fiction Writers

Yes. Waverly is Hwy 70 about 65 miles west of Nashville. It is in Humphreys County which is on the Tennessee River.

- Welcome to She Writes, Shirley. Do I remember right that Waverly is a bit west of Nashville? I'm thinking I used to go by there for my son's chess tournaments when I lived in Nashville. Or maybe on the way to Memphis? Anyway, Welcome to She Writes. Hope you'll enjoy it here.
Best,
Meg Waite Clayton
