Literature
This is the infobox for in-world literature. For the template describing real world literature, see Template:Book.

The literature infobox template is used to describe literary works, both written (e.g. books, newspapers) and oral (e.g. songs, poems), from any of Brandon Sanderson's stories.

See Help:Infoboxes for further details.

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.

Note: do not use {{cat tag|books}}. Category:Books is for the books written by Brandon Sanderson, not in-world literature.
