Can anyone point me to a definitive guide about the different subgenres within fantasy? I'm trying to work out where my work fits, but it's not as easy as I thought it would be, and when I Google the topic, it seems the definitions of the subgenres vary depending on who the article or website is by.
My book is in a made up world where there is a system of magic, so I thought that meant it was high fantasy. But it doesn't have any dragons, elves, dwarves and other races some readers associate with that. Not sure it's epic fantasy either.
As someone who wants to self-publish, I think it would be useful to know how to pitch it to potential readers.
