Award-winning author Laurie Stevens shares tips on switching genres.

Here are a few of the points Laurie touches on:

• Read books in the genre you want to switch to in order to familiarize yourself with things like plot, character types, and pacing.
• Research is fundamental, especially if you’re switching into genres like science fiction or police procedurals.
• Some elements can overlap genres. Romantic tension or a crime will work in almost any genre.
