How should indie authors really price their books? In this insightful deep dive from Indie Author Magazine, our hosts peel back the layers of conventional wisdom on book pricing, revealing how genre is much more than a mere data point—it’s the groundwork for your entire pricing strategy.
From dissecting the differences in reader expectations across fantasy, romance, and thriller genres to exploring how career stage, book format, and series positioning shape pricing decisions, this episode presents actionable strategies drawn straight from real indie author experiences and market research tools. We spotlight the importance of perceived value, the psychological impact of pricing, and how established authors and newcomers alike can find their pricing "sweet spot" without leaving money—or readers—on the table.
Whether you’re launching your first book or managing a robust backlist, this conversation arms you with the data, tools, and mindset shifts to price with confidence.
