Different Styles of Writing: Here is a list of the different styles and genres of writing when it comes to books:

Major Genre List of Published Books
Category	Genre	Description
Poetry Poetry is a form of literature that employs the rhythmic characteristics of language, including phonesthetics, sound symbolism, and meter, to express meaning. Phonesthetics explores the aesthetic qualities of the sounds associated with specific words or segments of words. Sound symbolism denotes the intrinsic connection between the phonetic elements of speech and their corresponding meanings. Meter serves as the essential rhythmic framework of a poem or its individual lines. The distinct meter, rhythm, and emphasis on the auditory aspects of syllables, words, and phrases set poetry apart from other literary forms. The primary aim of poetry is to communicate meaning through vivid imagery and metaphorical language, rather than through complete and grammatically precise sentences. Depending on the poetic style, works can vary significantly in length, spanning from a few lines to multiple pages. A collection of poems may feature a single author or contributions from various poets.	Epic	Epics are lengthy poems that tell the story of a hero or a group of heroes. They often include amazing deeds, thrilling adventures, special language, and a mix of song-like and dramatic parts.
	Narrative	Narrative poems share a story using poetic tools like rhyme, rhythm, similes, and metaphors. These poems are longer than typical poetry and tell a full story, much like a novel.
	Lyric	Narrative poems tell a story. Lyric poems are short and musical, focusing on strong feelings. They are personal expressions of emotion from one person, using techniques like rhyme, rhythm, similes, and metaphors. Narrative poems are longer and tell a complete story, much like a novel.
	Dramatic	Dramatic poetry is a type of poetry meant to be spoken or performed. It often aims to share feelings or ideas with another person, oneself, or an audience.
Fiction Fiction serves multiple purposes, such as entertaining, inspiring, informing, and persuading its audience. Writers of fiction harness their creativity to craft engaging narratives. They employ figurative language to weave tales filled with imaginary events, characters, and settings, igniting the readers’ imaginations. The realm of fictional literature encompasses various subgenres, including mystery, romance, and mythology. An author might opt to focus on one specific genre or blend several subgenres within their narrative. For instance, a writer could intertwine elements of mystery with those of fantasy to create a unique story.	Mystery	Mystery novels take readers on a journey through puzzles from start to finish. Usually, a key character is a detective or private investigator who works to uncover the mystery alongside the reader.
	Historical fiction	Historical fiction incorporates actual events to enhance its stories and important elements. It captivates readers by creatively reimagining a historical event, changing small details like character names or locations.
	Realism	Literary realism shows everyday things, people, and places as they are, without adding drama or romance. It focuses on realistic characters and settings, gives detailed descriptions of daily life, and portrays different social classes.
	Magical realism	Magical realism is a type of literature that blends real life with elements of fantasy or magic. Stories in this genre are a unique twist on realistic fiction.
	Fantasy	Fantasy novels often draw inspiration from mythology and old stories. They create made-up worlds, creatures, and universes that don’t exist in reality.
	Romance	Romance novels mainly focus on love stories. While romance appears in other types of fiction, these novels highlight the growth of a romantic relationship.
	Science fiction	Science fiction often features themes like exploring space, advanced species, and traveling through time. Many stories focus on scientific ideas, including physics, astronomy, anthropology, chemistry, and astrophysics.
	Dystopian	A dystopian tale imagines a world facing severe decline. Dystopian fiction can show societies filled with constant wars, deep social and economic divides, widespread poverty, environmental damage, chaos, and a lack of personal identity.
	Horror	The main aim of horror fiction is to scare and surprise readers. A horror story includes characters, places, and events that build suspense and tension.
	Fable	Fables usually convey a moral lesson or show a moral problem that the main character solves. Authors often use animals or objects that behave like people to work through conflicts, showing how the characters grow.
	Mythology	The mythological genre shows aspects of human behavior using symbols. It features themes like gods, goddesses, and cultural events.
Nonfiction The purpose of nonfiction writing is to educate or motivate readers by presenting real events, individuals, locations, or factual information. By exploring nonfiction materials like textbooks and essays, students can enhance their comprehension of fictional works. Prior to crafting a nonfiction piece, writers in this genre usually engage in thorough research.	Autobiography	An autobiography tells the story of a person’s life. It can help the writer deal with tough times, support others facing similar issues, or just share interesting experiences.
	Biography	A biography tells the story of someone’s life, written by another person. It often focuses on famous people like stars, athletes, business figures, and politicians.
	Essay	An essay is a brief written work where the writer explores an idea or subject after doing detailed research. The purpose of an essay can be to capture the readers’ interest, change their thoughts, involve them in its concepts, or convince them to share the same opinion.
Drama Dramas are artistic expressions of fiction characterized by dialogue and performance. Dramatic literature encompasses various forms, including epic and lyric poetry, as well as novels. These literary works can be brought to life on stage for a live audience or through mediums like radio, film, and television. Inspiration for dramatic pieces can stem from a wide array of sources, such as novels, short stories, poetry, and actual events. Within a drama, dialogue plays a crucial role, with actors embodying characters through their performances. Each dramatic work is structured into acts or scenes, utilizing props and creative dialogue to craft a captivating visual experience.	Tragedy	Tragedies highlight the struggles that lead to emotional pain for the main characters. They include descriptions that show the difficulties the protagonist faces.
	Comedy	A comedy is a kind of play that is funny and shows funny situations where the characters usually win in the end. It has a cheerful mood, smart jokes, clever phrases, and funny talks about serious issues.
	Musical	A musical can be a new creation or based on a longer book. It tells a story using music and shows themes directly through songs.
	Melodrama	Melodramas are serious dramatic works that tell important stories. They often feature heroes, heroines, villains, and flawed mentors who work through their challenges to find success.
Prose Prose is a format that follows straightforward writing with no rhythm, ranging from serious to funny styling.	Prose	Prose is a type of writing that doesn’t follow a specific rhythm like poetry. Instead, it flows like everyday speech and uses normal grammar. Prose can be either fiction or nonfiction and is made up of clear, straightforward paragraphs. Writers organize their thoughts into paragraphs and can choose to write in a serious or funny tone.
