Did We realize that there is a new way to effect gender equity through Ebooks? Seems that the category of 'Contemporary Women' is among fastest growing segments on online Ebook activity, right up there with Romance. So this is a segment from a blog which INVITES authors of progressive ebooks to 'RECATEGORIZE' their titles into the rising segment, and effectively reframe the notion of what is contemporary women. Here is sample on how we are leading this social movement. Join Us and let's shift the ebook realities, shall we?
Readers of this space will realize that there is more than one way to skin an ebook no? We have identified a 'bias' in the ebook categorization approach used by nearly all online vendors, which is based on BISAC categories, some of which have been in place for nearly 100 years. See this Link http://bit.ly/BISACCategories2012 to be totally amazed (lots of important social issues are STILL CONSIDERED FICTIONAL).
To wit: Even though women, as a focus group, purchase nearly 4x the number of trade retail paperbacks(could be reason why book industry pushes for Romance as leading the "Best Sellers" list right?), there are ZERO Top level categories for Women's Issues/Rights/Health. Buried safely under Social Issues, etc. Ahem.. Time for a dose of Digital Satyagraha no?
So instead of trying to move the mountain, we have elected to shift the categories, holding our egalitarian noses all the time, so that our offerings on Sophia's Selection (www.sophiasirius.net) will be placed in a Fiction category called Contemporary Women (which btw, is among the fastest growing categories for Online Ebook sales.
So, with that, be advised that the ebook marketing is becoming a 'finger on the pulse' reactionary effort, and that well written works MAY need to be 'categorized' inaccurately to satisfy and placate the Search Engine bots.
