Amazon’s A11 algorithm and the Rufus chatbot rewrote the rules in September 2024 — and if your blurbs don’t carry data blocks, your backlist is invisible. 80% of long-term author income comes from backlist. Most authors are leaving half of it on the table.

What We’ll Cover

The live session breakdown

A11 & Rufus — Why Your Backlist Stopped Selling▾

Amazon’s consumer-facing AI Rufus reads blurbs as data, not emotion. No data block means invisible to the algorithm since Sept 2024. Learn what changed and exactly how to rewrite for it.

The Hybrid Blurb & Data Block Rebuild▾

How to rewrite your existing blurb to keep the emotional hook readers love and add the data Rufus needs to actually serve your book. Same word count, totally different result.

Metadata, Keywords & Categories That Compound▾

Refresh keywords with intent language (not trope language), align categories with where readers are actually shopping, and lift every connected book in the series — not just the one you touched.

Backlist Relaunch Strategy▾

Backlists rarely need a rewrite — they need a relaunch. Free book one funnels, swap stacks, ARCs, and the small consistent moves that turn 96 backlist books into a six-figure earner without writing a new one.

What You’ll Walk Away With

Frequently Asked

Before you book, the quick stuff…

How old does a book need to be?▾

Any book published before September 2024 almost certainly needs an A11 refresh. Newer books still benefit — the workshop covers both rebuild and relaunch.

What if I can’t make the live date?▾

The on-demand version is $97 (vs $121 for live) and lets you watch every section at your own pace. Same teaching, no live Q&A or group feedback.

Are there recordings?▾

No. This is a live, attend-once experience. The value is in showing up, doing the work in real time, and getting live feedback from Coral and the group. If you can’t attend live, the on-demand version above is the option.

From the Live Workshop

In Coral’s Own Words

“As you update your backlist, I encourage you to rewrite your blurbs for A11 optimization and your keywords for A11 optimization. The breath of fresh air I have breathed into a lot of my backlists has to do with the fact that I did this.”
— Coral Hart, live teaching

“When Amazon announced A11, the way people are shown things on Amazon changed dramatically. Your backlist is not dead — it’s just not optimized for how readers actually find books now.”
— Coral Hart, live teaching

Excerpted from a live teaching session inside Plotprose Academy.
