Literary Awards and Contests in the field of Genre Literature

Literary Awards and Contests in the field of Genre Literature Becoming the center of the publishing market as a mainstream field   2020.06.01     The preference of readers is having more influence on the Korean publishing market than other elements.

In South Korea, web novels centering on genre fiction appeared in earnest in January 2013 on Naver's web novel service.What sets web novels apart from conventional novels is the fact that their formats can vary depending on the author's situation. Usually, readers have to pay for each chapter in the novel, so authors base their stories on fun and suspense.
