Do you think it's better, from the standpoint of someone trying to break in who hasn't sold anything, doesn't even have representation, to write in one genre exclusively or diversify?
It seems that the consensus, from what I've seen from interviews with writers and managers, is that it is better to write in one genre so you can market yourself as the guy who writes x.
Oren Uziel is an exception and wrote in multiple genres. He explained it in the below interview (@ 36:55) as being on a list and the more you write in one genre the more you move up on people's lists for writing that particular kind of film. If you write multiple types you're on multiple lists, but lower down.
