Why it works
Amazon's system is brilliant marketing. When a book's cover, listing, categories and keywords meet the standards for its category, Amazon shows it to more readers. More visibility leads to list placement, and list placement leads to more visibility. We don't invent a system. We show you how to work with Amazon's.

Honest, not flattering
Most feedback tools tell authors what they want to hear. We use AI configured to give honest critique, guided by our publishing experience, so you get the truth about your book and a clear path forward. That's also how we keep the assessment affordable and current: we keep up with Amazon, YouTube and Facebook changes, and every report is stamped with the date our standards were last reviewed.

Questions? hello@selfpublishmedia.com
No one can honestly promise that. The assessment shows you what's holding your book back. Fixing it starts Amazon's visibility cycle, and lasting sales take time, as they would with a traditional publisher.
