Hi Friend,
I'm happy to announce the first 2026 edition of our half-yearly Science Fiction & Fantasy Genre Report.
Genre Category Map
Our report provides a map of all 183 Sci-Fi & Fantasy categories (down to Level-4 and Level-5 subcategories), together with the performance indicators needed to identify attractive opportunities.
You will find a complete overview of the genre, and we reveal the Science Fiction & Fantasy categories showing the most significant upward or downward trends. Again, we dug deep to understand the underlying drivers of performance.
Good News
There is very good news for Sci-Fi authors: The Sci-Fi bestseller list has continued its remarkable upswing in 2026 so far.
Due to the three-category upload limit, category pollution has continued to decline and the upswing was broad-based rather than driven by a single trend such as Alien Romance.
The Fantasy bestseller list just reached its strongest average sales rank on record. The growth continues to be fueled by Romantasy titles, but there are also a dozen other Fantasy-related categories to explore.
In today’s competitive publishing landscape, having access to transparent and reliable market data is essential. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
New Sci-Fi & Fantasy Reports + Seminar Video
As always, you will find insights on sales trends, book supply, top-performing categories, high-selling covers, leading authors and publishers, trending keywords, optimal price points, titles, book descriptions, and more.
We also reveal those Science Fiction & Fantasy categories with the highest sales potential and the lowest levels of competition.
In addition, you will receive two Top 100 Market Snapshot bonus reports: one for Science Fiction and one for Fantasy, along with my commentary in a seminar video.
If you are interested in the results, you can find out more here:
Happy publishing,
Alex
