Every
once in awhile I’m curious about what genres are selling in self-pubbed books.
Stats
were harder to find this time but I pulled some from different sites.
This
first one is from http://selfpublishingrelief.com/self-published-genres-sell-most/
August 2015
First
place went to Romance, Sci-Fi and Fantasy.
It
said these books are best-suited for self-publishing, and half of the e-book in
romance, science fiction and fantasy genres on Amazon are self-published. Of these three genres, romance books make up a whopping 40% of the market share on Amazon e-book sales. And if you think romance is there because of erotica – only 1.2% os Kindle sales are erotica.
Mystery,
Thriller and Crime came next.
Of
the top 100 mystery and thriller sales, 11% are self-pubbed.
And next, according
to BookBub, from Sept. 2015, the most sought after fiction is mystery
thrillers. They market exclusively to ebook readers via email and according to
their website (at time of writing this article) this is their list of top selling
e-books:
Mystery/Thriller Romance
Historical Fiction
Biographies/Mémoires
Fantasy
Religious/Inspirational
Women's Fiction
Cooking
Science Fiction
Teen/Young Adult
Action/Adventure
Horror
I pulled this from Kindle. Couldn’t find a
date but it’s recent. It’s their first ten.
Romance – contemporaryLiterature & Fiction – Contemporary Fiction – Women
Romance – New Adult & College
Literature & Fiction – Contemporary Fiction – Romance
Literature & Fiction – Women – Romance
Literature & Fiction - Genre Fiction - Coming of Age
Romance - Mystery & Suspense - Suspense
Science Fiction & Fantasy - Fantasy - Paranormal & Urban
Literature & Fiction - Genre Fiction – Erotica
Literature & Fiction - Women - Mystery, Thriller & Suspense - Women Sleuths
So while the stat dates were a little
different, romance and mystery appear to be the top selling e-pubs.
I’d love to hear what you think.
I thought I read where the data guy from Passive Voice said that ebooks now comprise 80% of all romance sales, but I couldn't swear to it.
