BiblioChart
BiblioChart Independent Bestsellers
BiblioChart is a monthly independent bestseller list built to spotlight the books readers are actually buying from independent authors and small publishers.
A Bestseller List for the Independent Book Community
Every month, participating authors and publishers submit eligible sales totals for their titles. BiblioChart compiles those submissions into a public Top 20 list published on Proxima Emporium and shared through email and social media.
Subscriber participation helps offset the cost of maintaining, reviewing, publishing, and promoting the chart. Rankings are based on reported eligible sales, not advertising spend or paid placement.
For Authors
Submit your monthly book sales and give your title a chance to appear on an independent bestseller list designed for discoverability and promotion.
For Small Publishers
Track and submit sales for your catalog while helping build a recurring chart that gives independent books more visibility.
For Readers
Discover books gaining traction beyond the traditional bestseller ecosystem, including independent fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and genre titles.

Why BiblioChart?
Independent authors often generate meaningful book sales without ever appearing on traditional bestseller lists. BiblioChart creates a recurring, visible, and shareable way to recognize those books while helping readers discover titles outside the usual channels.
The goal is simple: build a monthly snapshot of independent book activity and give authors a new promotional milestone worth sharing.
