Works of literature sell widely and encompass a wide substantial market provided by large corporate publishers, self-published writers, and everything in-between. A certain subset of these works gain scholarly attention and are taught in literature classes at schools at all levels, including [[children's literature]], [[Young adult fiction|young adult literature]], and [[Western canon|canonical literature]] taught at universities; these works typically become the subject of another form of writing: [[Research|academic scholarship]]. Other forms of literature that are widely circulated but have only limited scholarly attention include [[historical fiction]], [[science fiction]], [[Romance novel|romance]], [[fan fiction]], [[western fiction]], [[Apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction|dystopic and apocalyptic fiction]], [[mystery fiction]], [[Fantasy literature|fantasy and myth]]. Other segments of the book market include non-fictional works that some may not characterize as literature but exist within the same marketing space, such as [[popular history]], [[biography]] and [[autobiography]], political and celebrity [[memoir]]s, [[Self-help book|self-help]] and educational books, [[popular science]] and technology, accounts of [[Social issue|social problems]], and [[Futures studies|futuristic projections]].{{citation needed|date=June 2023}} Authors and publishers' agents produce considerable documentation preparatory and subsequent to the successful publication of literature: [[Prospectus (book)|prospectuses]], developmental editing notes, [[contract]]s, correspondence with potential reviewers, [[Press release|press-releases]], marketing plans, etc.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}} Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
