[Corpora-List] fiction word list?

[Mark Davies]

Does anyone have or know of a fiction word list, similar in concept to
Coxhead's academic word list?

You might try my "Variation in English Words and Phrases" (VIEW) site: http://view.byu.edu
 
This interface to the 100m word British National Corpus allows you to specify a "macro" register (e.g. fiction) or even a more narrow register (like drame or poetry or prose) and then look for the top 3000 words in that register (just use * ), or narrow by part of speech (e.g. [vvi] or [nn*]) or phrase (e.g. the * in).  
 
You can also use fuzzy matches, WordNet-based queries, and comparison of synonyms/antonyms -- usually with just one simply query.
 
Any questions, please feel free to email me.
