Epic Reads

HarperTeen sits at 0.79 — noticeably ahead of every other neighbor — but the more revealing structural fact is what fills positions two through five: not other book publishers, but a TV show and a musical and its cast.

The shape is a spike anchored by HarperTeen (0.79), Epic Reads' sibling imprint and the only neighbor that shares its Book Publishers subcategory in the top five. From there the cluster pivots sharply toward Broadway: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (0.72), Hamilton (0.71), and three Hamilton cast members — Leslie Odom, Jr. (0.71), Daveed Diggs (0.71), and Phillipa Soo (0.70) — form a tight Broadway cluster that occupies four of the top ten slots. Fellow book publishers Penguin Classics (0.70) and Penguin Books (0.70) round out the set, alongside comedian Colin Jost (0.69) and actor Renée Elise Goldsberry (0.68). Tallying the top 10: four are Book Publishers, four are Actors, one is a TV Show, and one is a Musical — making this a genuinely cross-kind neighborhood where theatrical performance rivals publishing as the dominant audience signal.

The overall picture is an audience whose shape is defined as much by Broadway fandom as by book culture, with a single dominant publisher neighbor pulling ahead of a cluster that is otherwise built around stage and screen.
