Most authors pick the biggest category they can find.

Then they land in a list with two thousand other books and never move.

The category you can win is smaller. Less obvious. And reachable on launch day with a number of sales you probably already have in your phone contacts.

You don't need more readers.
You need the right shelf.

What you get

Three categories you can realistically win — ranked by how reachable each one is
Shelves where #1 takes under 20 sales a day — based on historical data research
The full category path — ready to paste straight into KDP
Why each one fits — so you can pick with confidence instead of guessing

Who this is for

Nonfiction only. Business, self-help, how-to, memoir, devotional.

Writing fiction? Need EXACT sales #'s? Use Publisher Rocket instead. You'll get most up to date data there.

Why this matters more than a badge

A category is a place in someone's mind.

On Amazon it's a shelf. In your market it's the space you occupy when someone describes what you do.

Most books get published into a crowded shelf and disappear. The ones that last claim a shelf nobody else was standing on.

This tool solves the small version of that problem. The Amazon one.

The bigger version is the one worth solving next.

Who built it

I'm Chris Stanley. I've published 31 books and hit 21 bestseller lists.

I help experts write and publish the book that claims their category. This is some of the same category research I run for paying clients, and now it's free.

Stop guessing
at your shelf.
