Book formats
eBooks were the most selected Automateed project format

Practical implications
What authors, researchers and publishing teams can use this data for
For authors and creator businesses
The format counts do not show which format is easiest, most profitable, or best for a particular reader. They show only which Automateed workflow was selected. Choose a format from the needs of the project, compare several structures, and validate the audience before committing to a long draft.
The country table describes attributed creation sessions; it does not identify a target market or prove demand in a country. Authors selling directly can review worldwide author payouts, while authors exporting to retailers should verify current territory, language, currency and metadata rules with the relevant store.
For journalists and researchers
Cite the dataset as an Automateed platform snapshot, include the collection label and avoid generalizing the proportions to the entire self-publishing market. The strongest supported statements are that the analyzed platform recorded 77,742 projects across the four listed formats, that 72,897 had country attribution spanning 216 country or territory labels, and that ebooks represented 90% of the format snapshot.
Link to this report for the expanded tables and to the PRWeb release for the public announcement. When comparing future editions, check the denominator and snapshot date rather than treating a larger cumulative total as growth over a fixed interval. We will update the page only when a new aggregate export has been reviewed and the methodology remains comparable.

Self-help, health, business, faith, and mental health titles led the categorized sample. These are classifications of project titles, not measures of reader demand, retailer sales, completion rates, or the commercial value of a niche.
Health & Fitness
Health and fitness accounted for 9.6% of categorized ebook titles in the sample.

Methodology
This report uses cumulative, aggregated, anonymized Automateed platform records through July 15, 2026. The book type dataset covers 77,742 created book projects. The geography dataset covers 72,897 book creations where country-level IP geolocation was available. The 216 labels can include territories represented by the geolocation provider and should not be read as 216 sovereign states.
The public PRWeb release published on July 7 used an earlier cumulative snapshot of 77,636 projects: 69,865 ebooks, 4,224 novels, 2,221 storybooks, and 1,326 coloring books. The expanded aggregate recorded for this page on July 15 contains 77,742 projects. The 106-record difference is 97 ebooks, 3 novels, no additional storybooks, and 6 coloring books. These two totals are adjacent cumulative snapshots, not conflicting estimates or a measured growth rate.
The topic analysis assigns one leading label to each of 63,552 ebook titles across 41 labels. Topic percentages therefore use 63,552 as their denominator. Geography uses the separate 72,897-project population with an available country-level result. Neither population should be treated as a sample of the entire publishing market.
Counts represent projects, not unique people. A project record is not proof of a completed or published book, and creation activity is not published sales volume. Individual user data, book content, private account details, and personally identifiable information are not included.
This is a fixed cumulative aggregate through July 15, 2026, not a live counter. We publish a new version only after validating a fresh aggregate export, so figures from different collection periods are not silently mixed together. This report page was last reviewed on September 2, 2026.
