Nobody else has this

Your lane’s demand, live. Not what already sold.

Most tools tell you what is already selling. Perfect Year’s Demand Radar tells you what your readers are asking for that almost nobody is writing yet, pulled from Reddit, Goodreads, TikTok and AO3 by TropeSmith’s reader-demand engine, scoped to your lane only. And it does not just plan your year, it watches it.

82▲ 34% demandCulinary competition subplot3 books doing it

More baking-competition stakes, not just a body in the kitchen.

61▲ 21%Grumpy baker love interest7 books doing it

A love interest who actually argues about pastry technique.

47▲ 15%Small-town festival mystery11 books doing it

A whole town festival gone wrong, not just one shop.

33▲ 9%Found-family mentor16 books doing it

Steady demand, well served. Write it if you love it.

Illustrative sample for this fictional demo pen, not a live read. A high score means readers are asking and almost nobody is writing it. Your real Demand Radar is powered by TropeSmith’s reader-demand engine.

Not a one-pen tool

Write under more than one name? No pen limit, no per-pen fee — Perfect Year runs every one, together.

Every pen name gets its own plan, its own production board, its own swap calendar and its own royalty line. One row of tabs switches the whole screen. This is the real product today, not a roadmap promise.

Pen switcher: Master view plus every individual pen name, one tap apart

Your Author Empire: every pen name rolled up into one portfolio view

The Master view. Every pen rolled up into one portfolio: releases, money and swaps across your whole author business, not just one name.

Questions

The ones authors ask.

Is this a course?

No. There's nothing to study and no modules to fall behind on. Perfect Year HQ is a live dashboard that plans your year and then does the marketing work with you — the method is baked into the buttons.

I'm not techy. Will I cope?

If you can click a button, you're qualified. Setup is a two-minute form — pen names and books. Everything after that is one screen with clearly labelled buttons, and a real person on email if you're ever stuck.

What if I write slowly, or life blows up my plan?

That's exactly what it's built for. The plan bends around your real pace — it protects rest weeks first, warns you months early when a deadline stops being real, and rebuilds the year when things change. No shame, no red ink, just a plan that stays true.

Can I cancel?

Anytime, from inside your dashboard — no emails, no hoops. You keep full access to the end of the month you've paid for, and you can undo the cancellation right up until then.

Can I pay for the year upfront?

Yes — one payment of $550 covers 12 months. That is $350 less than twelve monthly payments of $75. Same everything as monthly. It doesn't auto-renew into a surprise: you'll get a reminder before your year ends, and if you cancel you keep access for the full year you've paid for.

What do you need from me to start?

Your pen name(s) and your books. If you're published on Amazon, we pull your covers, blurbs and categories ourselves — you don't upload a thing.
