      Ideas for Your Books – Look at Existing Genres

      Ideas for Your Books - Look at Existing Genres

      Thema is a categorisation system that makes books discoverable by communicating accurate and detailed subject information to publishers, retailers and the book trade. If you are looking for inspiration for a book to write, or where your book might fit in with others, this is an excellent place to start. It’s also the classification system used by the book trade in the UK, and is being adopted as the global standard for book classification, so digging around these categories will help when it comes to classifying your book.

      A word of warning – everyone wants to write something ‘different’, but if it won’t fit into at least one of these classifications you make the book much harder to find.
