Fantasy Keywords for KDP Authors

You need the right fantasy keywords for KDP readers to find your book!

 

Navigating Amazon KDP's keyword system for your fantasy novel can be challenging, but choosing the right keywords is crucial for connecting with your ideal readers. While it might be tempting to repeatedly use popular terms like "fantasy" or "magic," Amazon's algorithm prioritizes relevance over repetition. The key is selecting terms that genuinely reflect your book's specific subgenre, themes, magical elements, creatures, and world-building aspects. Each of your seven keyword slots on KDP should be used strategically to capture different elements of your story. Don't forget - you need to put more than one keyword in each slot. Use all available space available to you, even if it makes one line look like: "epic fantasy dragons sword magic system wizard quest dark lord prophecy." This maximizes your visibility potential while staying relevant to your book's content. Below is a comprehensive list of fantasy keywords organized by category to help you identify the most relevant terms for your particular book.

The feedback is instructive.  I am glad we went back to repeat readers as they are confirming there were improvements in the areas I and my editor targeted. - M. T.

 

Wow! That was fast! ;) Loved the feedback and critiques… I was just picturing some comments in a Word file, so you guys went above and beyond with in-depth reporting! I’ve sung your praises over at Goodreads, so hopefully someone will get the hind and some business will come your way soon. :) Thanks again so much! These stories will be better because of you, and I’ll be sure to contact you again next October when I publish them so you can all get your complimentary eBooks. (The perks of being self-published…) - Jack

 

 

I will use all these comments to improve my story. I will definitely use your services again. - Georges E.

 

What a wonderful and necessary service you provide - this is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for. If it is possible, could you please thank the beta readers for me, and especially pass along my thanks to the second reader (EML36) for the thorough comments and insights?  Combining the viewpoints and thoughts of the three, I now have some indication of what worked and what will need revision. I hope to make use of your company again sometime soon. All the best. - David A.
