Half the time, editors go into meetings and say, "This is a mystery," and someone in sales will say, "Let's put 'novel' on the spine and sell it as a mystery to B&N but as fiction to WalMart" and someone in marketing will say "Oh, and let's sell it as 'women's fiction' to Target! Good idea!" and the editors just sip their coffee and are happy that people are buying the books at all.
