Like Aaronicon, I'm also considering writing mystery and crime fiction. I think I'd like to try something with a humorous bent to it, like the works of Elmore Leonard and Carl Hiaasen. I'm trying to do some research on the market, but I can't even figure out if that's a specific genre. Amazon seems to categorize their books in different--but nearly identical--genres. Can anyone point me towards an understanding of Amazon's categories and how the ranks within them work? I'd love to have a clearer sense of the size of this market before I commit myself. e: I should add that I've learned a lot of useful stuff about Amazon ranks by reading older posts in this thread, like the relative significance within a category of #100 vs #1,000 vs #10,000. But I still haven't got a good sense of how different categories compare to each other in market size or why books that seem similar to me are in completely different, but similar-sounding, categories.

KrunkMcGrunk posted:I use createspace for mystery (fiction, natch) and I'd guess my paperback sales are less than 5% of my total gross. I’m working on my first mystery. Are you happy with your editor, designer, and artist? Would you be willing to point me to them?

For what it's worth, I think you've used the word "fleeting" incorrectly here. It means "lasting only a brief time."

KrunkMcGrunk posted:The meeting with Thomas & Mercer went really well! The Editorial Director there liked our initial idea, and she wants to see what my co-author and I are working on, so we're going to send them the stuff we've both worked on. That must be incredibly exciting. What’s the latest?

angel opportunity posted:There’s a lot of a stuff on there other than litRPG. I read one for a while about an older woman who got sent back to her body as a teenager and got a second chance at life with all of her adult experience. It was set just like in high school and had no magic or weapons or other nerd poo poo I really hope there was no love interest in that story
