Market intel for indie authors, finally.

Most indie authors are marketing without the data traditional publishers have. Romintel is the behavioural data layer for romance authors — we read the Amazon top 50 across eight subgenres every morning, so you can read your readers.

Two tropes moving in opposite directions this week — read every morning, so you know which way to lean.
The Philosophy

We don't track what's trending. We track why it's working.

Four principles behind every finding — so the data tells you what to do, not just what's happening.

01 / The Signal

A data point that changes how you think.

Every finding starts with something specific and surprising. Not “dark romance is popular” — that's noise. “17 of the top 20 share the same cover composition, and it's not an accident” — that's a signal.

02 / The Behaviour

The psychological reason behind it.

This is our edge. Readers aren't choosing consciously — their brains pattern-match on cues before they've read a word. A face turned away activates threat-detection. Enemies-to-lovers triggers loss aversion. The data tells you what. We tell you why.

03 / The Implication

What this means for your book.

Every insight ends with a clear implication for the author reading it. Never “you're leaving money on the table.” Always “here's what this means — and here's what I'd try if this were my book.”

04 / The Belief

You're already doing a great job.

The data doesn't exist to expose what you're doing wrong. It exists to show you what's possible. Every insight starts from the assumption that you're already trying, already capable, and already worthy of better information.
