Often, chick lit tends to be much lighter and much more commercial in that the references used are specific to that exact time and place. When you think of Sex in the City, that would be chick lit. The references are very specific and probably will not extend to populations outside of that specific time and generation. When it comes to women's fiction, it can be both light or serious. The central story arc, however, is the growth of the character.Scott Eaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209357682070126879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163829887162955058.post-5455587983651559072015-07-16T10:27:33.219-07:002015-07-16T10:27:33.219-07:00"Women's fiction is a genre that looks at..."Women's fiction is a genre that looks at the world through a female lens.

I had to laugh at your "everything but the kitchen sink" scenario above.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.com
