Why Coloring Books are Evergreen

Coloring books are a massive market on Amazon, appealing to both children (for learning/fun) and adults (for stress relief/mindfulness). The key to success is creating a unique, cohesive theme that stands out.

Pro Tip: Specificity sells. Instead of "Animal Coloring Book," try "Steampunk Animals" or "Kawaii Food Characters."

Step-by-Step: Creating Your Coloring Book

1

Choose a theme

Start with a strong concept. Whether it's "Underwater Cities," "Dinosaurs in Space," or "Floral Mandalas," defining your theme helps the AI understand the style you want.

2

Confirm outline

BooksGenie will propose a list of page ideas based on your theme (e.g., "Page 1: T-Rex floating in zero gravity"). Review and edit this outline to ensure every page will be exciting.

3

Generate images with AI

Click "Generate." Our specialized AI engine creates high-quality, black-and-white line art optimized for coloring. It ensures clean lines and appropriate complexity for your target age group.

4

Select pages and choose a page layout

Review your generated images. Select the best ones, delete any you don't like, and choose your layout (e.g., single-sided to prevent bleed-through, framed borders, or full-page bleed).

5

Download

Export your book as a print-ready PDF. The file comes perfectly sized with high-resolution images (300 DPI) ready for immediate upload to Amazon KDP.
