satire

Artificial Intelligence has written an epic fantasy book with a little help from authors, Jon Duffy and B Rickenbacher. (Please don’t ever ask them how much of this story they ended up having to write themselves.) The plot is mad, the characters crackers, but the story makes sense, well, sort...

From a publisher / agent's perspective is satire considered a genre or a sub genre? For example, if Animal Farm were published today, how would publishers see it in the marketplace? Do books which aren't written to market, or that straddle genres face challenges being picked up?
