@ebokiopublishing.bsky.socialKeywords are how readers search — not how catalogs shelve.
Categories put you on a shelf. Keywords match the phrases a reader actually types. Complementary, not stuffing.
Where do your keywords still sound like catalog labels?
@ebokiopublishing.bsky.socialLook Inside starts where the want starts.
If page one is weather, waking, or backstory, cut the throat-clearing. Open on desire so the sample promises the book.
Where does your true want begin?
@ebokiopublishing.bsky.socialStamp-size is the real cover test.
If title and mood vanish when you squint, the full-size beauty never gets clicked.
One clear idea. Strong contrast. Title that survives the shrink.
What still reads at arm’s length?
@ebokiopublishing.bsky.socialPrice is a promise, not a race to the floor.
Match the number to the craft readers feel on the page — and to what your category already expects. Undercutting everything rarely builds trust.
What price feels honest for your next book?

@ebokiopublishing.bsky.socialGenre shelves the book. Motive explains the buy.
Pick one primary motive and two supports. Then align cover, blurb, tags, sample, and price — contradictions kill the sale.
Which motive does your manuscript hire itself for?
