"Authorial intention" as a book category covers works that focus on the creator's purpose, choices, and voice—either directly (memoirs, interviews, essays, or craft guides in which writers describe why they wrote and how) or indirectly (fiction and metafiction that foregrounds the author as a character or explores the act of creating stories). It also includes literary criticism and theory that examines how much an author’s intended meaning should influence interpretation and how authorial context shapes understanding. Readers can expect books that interrogate the relationship between text and maker, reveal behind-the-scenes motives and methods, or dramatize the ethics and impact of authorial control, often provoking questions about meaning, authority, and the limits of interpretation.
