: Re: What genre appeals to the widest audience? My writing is focused primarily on love stories, i.e. the romance genre, and I believe this reaches a relatively small audience. Is there one genre

The one type of writing that everyone enjoys reading is about themselves or at least about characters that they recognise as someone they could be.

Perhaps your love stories have a limited audience not because they are "love stories" but because the range of characters in them is restricted. Are you writing about the same kinds of people all the time?

Look at one of your works and select an important character (but not the principal figure). Now imagine that character was 20 years older (or younger), or born in a different country and migrated to the site of your tale, or more highly educated, or less physically attractive. How would the story change? It is almost certain that at least one of these changes will impact on the development of your plot. And if it does not, keep looking -- what if the character had a disability, or an exceptional athletic talent, or almost anything in the range that makes each of us different and looking for different things in our reading preferences.
