The story I am writing does not fit into any of the category options available in the Publisher. What should I do?

You basically have two options here: Option A: You can pick “Something Else” as your story’s category and use the “What’s This Story About?” section to describe the story and it’s appropriate category, OR Option B: You can email us at support@launchora.com or go to the Contact Us page, select “Category Suggestions”, and tell us what category would best describe your story. We can’t promise we’ll accept all category suggestions, but we will definitely consider them. If we get several requests for a particular category, and its language is appropriate for our audience, we will add it asap. The only difference between those options is that A is instant while B will take some time.
