Types

When specifying a type for a literary work, stick to the most generic type only. For example, An Accountability of Virtue is both a book and a (romance) novel, but for the purposes of this template it is of the same type as Shadows Remembered - a book.

Applying a category to the type is not necessary, but if you can find one in the list of category, use it.
