![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Honestly, I am not surprised many fantasy authors familiar with bureaucracy decide to combine the two. I can vouch for the veracity of the office work in the below novels.

An Argument for the Term Workplace Fantasy Although workplace fantasy is not a technical sub-genre, I will use the term as a catchall for books with office magic. I argue workplace fantasy novels are an extension of the sub-genre where office work is a crucial component of fantasy plots. Now, workplace fiction or corporate fiction is an interesting sub-genre that places characters in a modern office setting. Does your magical employment involve spreadsheets, scheduling, emails, and a corporate management structure? If so, you may be in a workplace fantasy novel. ![]()
