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. Genre literature including webtoons (online comics), web novels, and science fiction that gained little attention in the past have become popular among readers – even comparable to pure literature – and its market is expanding as well. The idea that genre literature is non-mainstream and is only enjoyed by certain fans has become nonsense today. In particular, in terms of web novels, anyone can become a writer, and as anybody can enjoy the works with a mobile device anywhere one likes, its market has outgrown that of paper books. Genre literature possesses a different value than pure literature in that its works can be extended to derivative works such as movies or TV series with their creative ideas and fast flow of stori...

Author-illustrator Myung Soojung

Author-illustrator Myung Soojung 2021.07.05 Please introduce yourself to our readers. Hello, this is Myung Soojung, the illustrated book author. I published I Like Music for My Eyes (Gloyeon), The Skirt That Spreads to the End of the World (Gloyeon), and Big and Bigger (Gloyeon). How was your childhood? I grew up in the countryside. If I hadn’t experienced the city when I got older. Probably I couldn't have made these books. All day in the yard, I think I was very happy just looking at the clouds. Seeing the stars at night. Grandma's and grandfather's love there are memorable. What kind of person do you think writers are? Writers spend time in their own space. They spend time alone and isolated. I think it is like a spring deep in the mountains. To the reader, a writer can be spring water. And sometimes, if the spring water is clear like a mirror, it can reflect a person. In that respect, I think an author is a sp...
