Built by an author, for authors

A person behind every book. Evidence behind every decision.

Indie Book Atlas grew from a practical question: how can you understand a book market before investing your time, money and hopes in a new book?

How it started

How it started

I am on the author’s side of the desk, too.

Olena Mitsynska

My name is Olena. I write books that sell on Amazon. So “What should I publish next?” is a practical question for me: it leads to writing, a cover, publication and advertising.

I wanted to connect the numbers to a decision: do the keywords fit the book, who holds the top positions, are new independent authors among the competitors, and what remains after printing and advertising?

That is how Indie Book Atlas began: a service I am building around practical author tasks, from finding a topic and researching a niche to working on your own book and comparing results over time.

Our purpose

Help authors see opportunities and investigate them.

Belief in an idea matters. Alongside it, you need to understand readers, competitors and economics. We bring those pieces into a connected research process you can return to.

Book-specific context

Keywords should fit the book. Competitor format, age, ratings, price and search position matter together, rather than as isolated impressive numbers.

Clear economics

Revenue, royalties and profit are different. We show estimates, available data and limitations; a missing value is not turned into zero.

A clear next step

A report should help narrow a choice, test an assumption or improve a listing. Explanations and instructions are part of the tool.

Respect for your decision

We do not promise bestsellers or make decisions on an author’s behalf. Estimates can be wrong, markets change and creating a good book remains your work. Our job is to give you context to investigate an idea and choose a next step.
