Why Genre Matters for MiniHER Books
Hey there, I’m Sharlrita DeLoatch, your profitable publishing bestie! Welcome back to my Blog.
If you’re thinking about writing a MiniHER book—a concise, impactful book under 15,000 words—choosing the right genre is key to maximizing your reach and impact. MiniHER books are perfect for busy women entrepreneurs, leaders, and coaches who want to inspire, educate, or establish authority in their niche.
The best part? These short books (usually 50+ pages) help boost visibility and credibility while tapping into trending and evergreen topics. Let’s dive into the top genres to consider when writing your MiniHER book in 2025.
Top Genres for MiniHER Books in 2025
1. Self-Help & Personal Development
This genre remains a bestseller because people are always looking for ways to improve their lives. Topics like:
-
Confidence building
-
Overcoming challenges
-
Mental wellness
Who is this best for? Coaches, counselors, and motivational speakers looking to share transformative insights. If you’re a confidence coach, for example, you can break down your core topics into separate books and create a self-help series. A great tool for researching high-converting book titles is Amazon KDP.
2. Business & Entrepreneurship
If you have expertise in business growth, marketing, or niche-specific strategies, this is the perfect genre. Think:
-
How-to guides
-
Success stories
-
Niche expertise
Women helping others grow their businesses, such as social media strategists, hybrid publishers, and business coaches, can thrive in this category. MiniHER books in this genre establish authority and serve as lead magnets for services and programs.
3. Health & Wellness
From fitness to holistic living, people are constantly searching for wellness advice. Some popular topics include:
-
Fitness & Nutrition
-
Holistic health practices
-
Wellness routines
If you’re a health coach, personal trainer, or wellness influencer, you can create quick-tip guides, recipe books, or transformational success stories to connect with your audience.
4. Memoirs & Personal Stories
Storytelling is powerful. If you have a transformational journey or experience that can inspire others, consider writing a MiniHER memoir. This genre resonates deeply with readers seeking:
-
Connection
-
Inspiration
-
Personal growth
Women who have overcome personal struggles or achieved significant milestones can use their stories to impact others. Memoirs also work well as hybrid books, blending storytelling with lessons or guidance.
5. Niche Non-Fiction
This is one of my personal favorites! If you have expertise in a specific topic, such as:
-
Parenting strategies
-
Faith-based books
-
Sustainable living
…then niche non-fiction is the way to go. As a hybrid publisher, one of my 2025 projects is creating a MiniHER book series on hybrid publishing, a highly specific but in-demand topic. The key here is to address a specific challenge for a defined audience.
How to Choose the Right Genre
When selecting a genre for your MiniHER book, consider:
-
Your expertise or life story: What knowledge or experiences can you share?
-
Audience demand: Research book trends using tools like BookBeam to identify high-interest topics.
-
Business alignment: If you already serve a particular audience, your book is already in demand—it just needs to be in book form!
Getting Started with Your MiniHER Book
Here are a few tips to help you bring your book to life:
-
Outline your book based on your chosen genre.
-
Use your expertise to create a unique angle and stand out.
-
Set a timeline for writing and publishing your book.
-
Leverage existing content from your coaching programs, videos, or courses.
Remember, a MiniHER book is only about 50 pages (15,000 words or less), making it easier to publish multiple books a year. I have a client who plans to write one MiniHER book per month in 2025—imagine the impact that could have on her brand!
