How to Categorize a Book
To publish a book, you need to categorize it. There are nine categories your book can fall into: mass marketplace paperback, trade, scholarly and university fourth estate, juvenile, college textual matter, professional, simple high school textual matter, subscription mention and spiritual. It's important to put your book in the right category so customers can find it.
