500+ Keywords for Romance Novels to use on Amazon KPD
Updated: Oct 17, 2022
Do you struggle to think up those seven "keywords" when setting up your book on KDP? I know I do. Why isn't there a list anywhere? Something you can dip in and out of when you need it?
Tada! There is now! Right here.
I've researched a list of over 500 keywords (or actually key phrases!), using a weird tip I discovered for using the Amazon search bar. This took quite some time but there's no point in this list gathering dust on my desktop. If others can use it too, then great! Let's nail those keywords.
The list features keywords used in a wide range of romance subgenres, so you'll need to go through it and highlight the ones that fit your book. I haven't broken it into categories and it's in simple A-Z format.
I'm a Scottish girl, so I use UK spellings but I have added the US ones if I spotted an obvious one. You can adapt the spellings to suit your preferred marketplace.
