    LOVED this! I just subscribed for more amazing content. I originally thought my work in progress would fall under psychological thriller but its looking more like hardboiled or noir. What do you think is the main difference between the two? Is it mainly that noir doesn’t have a happy ending? I love that you offer editing services! My channel is all about writing so let me know if I can support you in any way. I love anyone who makes videos about crime writing! 💜👏🏽

    Thanks! I think a novel can be a hardboiled psychological thriller! The psych thriller term is probably more commercial and better understood by the general public, so if I were you I wouldn’t shy away from using it, particularly for marketing purposes.

    And I think you’re right about happy endings. Noir and hardboiled both leave the reader with questions and no happy-ever-afters, even when the crime is solved. I’ll take a look at your channel!
