Thanks, Dave, for the breaking news. You're always on the cutting edge of information like this. Big kudos!

Hey Dave, thanks for this. Interestingly, you seem to have missed a whole new category that Amazon have come up with in Romance. It's called Romance In Uniform and it's increasingly starting to look like what I'd call a junk category. So many different types of romance stories are being lumped into this category with the only thing they have in common being that there is some sort of "uniform" involved in relation to one of the main characters e.g. military, first responders, sport and scientists! I write military romance (Navy SEALs) and instead of the categories I selected > Military, Small Town, Action Adventure, Romantic Suspense, Amazon have put my books into Romance In Uniform and my page reads and sales have tanked ever since.

Always my first stop to understand category and keywords in the Zon.

Thanks Dave. As always, you;re on top of the game. I will need to watch your video several times and then break down the info into manageable chunks before checking on my seven novels. But many thanks for championing the indie authors out here.

Very good advice, and a reminder to create a "revise categories" to-do note.

Oh my gosh! I just tried this out in my Publisher Rocket, and, WOW, the keyword feature added onto the categories (as well as if the categories are "duplicate" or "ghost") is AMAZING! THANK YOU so much, Dave!

[bunmbj]

Thank you, David, for keeping us updated on these critical AMZ changes!

[techguyfun]

Love that Rocket simply shows Ghost! Made is so easy for me this morning when listing my new novella. Also love that Atticus is consistently updated.

[marydezember_author]

Thanks, Dave! As always, you are a true gem on the rocky road of publishing!

[susanmasterson]

This is helpful, thank you! I updated Rocket today, but when I click on "keywords" for a category, nothing happens...

[DaneA-xm]

Wow, awesome, I’m going to check my categories and update my processes. Thank you so much for updating these detail in Publisher Rocket

[butchersrespawn]

That Pub Rocket. I'm gonna slay those keywords when I get home soon. I wish you guys had a Pub Rocket Mobile app.

[mikecook_author]

Came over from Dale Roberts video. Thanks for explaining this. I will have to look at my books and bounce the current categories against Publisher Rocket for those “ghost” categories.

My only regret is I can only give this video 1 thumbs up!
