That's an interesting theory. You'...Hi Anna! That's an interesting theory. You'd think Amazon would sort that out before publishing, as they are the experts. I think that the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender category is one to avoid, as readers may assume only GBTs will enjoy the book. (I've just checked one of my favourite books, Mary Renault's The Charioteer, and I'm pleased to see it's in Literature and Classics and not the gay ghetto which she would not have approved of.)<br /><br />I think covers are terribly important. There's one KP book I've read which is an excellent read, really good, and not selling at all well. Its cover is a bit strange and quite wrong for the genre. I keep wondering whether I should email the author...Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14404818053292364819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6250078125607062288.post-45799521651232317012016-06-02T01:15:13.531+01:002016-06-02T01:15:13.531+01:00Whoops not logged into the right account - Anna Mc...Whoops not logged into the right account - Anna McIlwraith here!

I see a lot of books going into "thriller" and "urban fantasy" categories when they are maybe, um, not actually those genres at all? But the writer wasn't sure, or picked a category *after* they wrote the book. Genre fiction is king on Amazon. ---https://www.blogger.com/profile/01782132665604915112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6250078125607062288.post-24789431528703061372016-06-01T21:45:02.872+01:002016-06-01T21:45:02.872+01:00Good luck with Bitter Envy - it looks good.
