Contemporary writers are trying to make sense of the new reality, and a key trend has emerged from this: fantasy and fantasy in original formats: graphic novels and book-length audio series. Reality has once again moved writers to a new texture for literature, which will not be easy to work with successfully. Let’s look at what topics you can write a book on today to hit the trend and interest the reader.
Social dystopias
Anti-utopian plots allow not only to make sense of the events of current reality, but also to find an original form for themselves.
Historical prose
A trend that will probably never leave the world of literature, because the relationships between people, love, hate, the complexity of feelings – this is the same inexhaustible ground for novels, novellas and poems.
In this sense, Sally Rooney enters the arena again with her new novel Beautiful World, Where Art Thou? In it, she conveys universal modernity through the problems and experiences of thirty-somethings in whom each of us can recognize ourselves.
Autofiction
Now that the era of the personal brand is flourishing, the personality of the writer himself is becoming as interesting as his novels, if not more so. Therefore, the genre of autofiction is gaining new popularity.
Autofiction is a type of autobiography told on behalf of the writer himself. The distinctive feature is that the name of the protagonist should coincide with the name of the author, so a special handwriting is created and the work in form acquires features that noticeably separate it from the usual autobiography. In this genre there are more thoughts, feelings and emotions, but not so much eventfulness.
Anti-utopias, historical novels, autobiographies, books about interpersonal relationships will be popular, and perhaps the current of contemporary literature will develop even more extensively. So if you have a tight situation with the thematic spectrum, we recommend looking toward the designated topics.
However, the true pleasure of writing comes when you are engaged in any topic and what you are interested in at the moment. So don’t forget to stick to your author’s point of view, style, and opinion.
