    ISSUES AND CHALLENGES OF EMERGING LITERATURE

    1. Literature consumption is not the same as it was before.


    People no longer read books in the same way that they read them before.
    Instead, we’ve adapted to reading blogs, social media feeds, quickly browse listings, and
    watch videos. Some people have not lost their love for printed works and can reason
    with the writer, but the trend in literature consumption is no longer the same. The main
    challenge of the modern writer is to realize what modern literature is turning into and try
    to add their own contribution to what the people want, while still weaving in their own
    style, messages and little quirks.
    2. Too many “writers”.
    Today, everyone who has learned to quickly tap their fingers on the keyboard
    can easily think of themselves as a writer. Thing is that technology has disrupted
    everything in such a way that there are no longer strict rules of entry into the literary
    world. It now doesn’t really matter if you have a real talent or not, anyone can easily call
    themselves a writer and point to a self-published book. In fact, it doesn’t even matter that
    those self-published works are far from true works of literature in its best sense. There
    are way too many “writers” today. A real talented writer today has a harder time proving
    their potential in these very difficult conditions where so many untalented people publish
    poor quality books.
    3. Too Much Reused and Copied Ideas.
    Taking into account the amount of information that is produced and reproduced
    on the internet daily, it is really hard to come up with something new. If 100 years ago
    the authors had great scope for creativity and imagination, today one can argue that
    we’ve already covered everything and published books on all possible topics and
    genres. Each idea any writer might consider has arguably already been written,
    transcribed, adapted, translated and chewed hundreds of thousands of times. It is
    almost impossible to come up with something truly unique. But there is a flip side to this
    —if you manage to create something new, then you are almost guaranteed instant
    success. Uniqueness in modern literature is quite rare in the 21st century.
    4. Some types of emergent literature are dismissed as “inferior literature”.
    Graphic novels in any form were generally dismissed as inferior literature – “not
    proper reading”! People say that the style of graphic novels, such as comic books or
    manga, cannot be counted as literature, as they are just art.
