What book-market-research does

This skill evaluates nonfiction book projects purely from a business standpoint rather than judging literary craftsmanship. It begins by examining your book concept document alongside the author's primary goal, whether that means generating royalties, driving client leads, or establishing consulting credentials.

Research runs across two operational tracks. The quick assessment relies on web search to inspect competitor positioning and reader gripes in reviews. The deep dive prepares a spreadsheet listing 5 to 8 rival books, prompting you to supply quantitative figures from Amazon for a weighted scorecard.

Deep evaluation requires you to gather Amazon sales ranks yourself because the model cannot scrape live retail metrics directly.

What it helps with

  • evaluate market viability for nonfiction titles on Amazon KDP
  • spot unmet reader needs by analyzing competitor review complaints
  • calculate a weighted viability score based on demand and pricing data
  • choose between quick qualitative filtering and deep competitor tracking

Example prompts for the agent

  • Assess the commercial feasibility of the book outline in concept.md for Amazon KDP with an income focus.
  • Run a quick assessment of competing productivity titles based on book-draft.txt.
  • Parse the completed numbers in competitor-analysis.csv and generate the viability scorecard.
