Two distinct audience neighborhoods pull on Amazing Stories — one anchored in writing and books, the other in lifestyle and home content — with neither fully dominating the other.
The shape is two-peak. The strongest neighbor is Bruce Van Horn (0.79), a Professionals subcategory influencer, followed closely by two Blogs: Novelicious (0.78) and The Independent Author Network (0.77). These three form a clear first cluster oriented around writing, authorship, and self-improvement content. That grouping is notably cross-kind: Amazing Stories is a Magazine, and none of these three neighbors share that subcategory.
The second peak emerges around home and lifestyle publishing. Homes & Gardens (0.75) and Steve Keating (0.75) sit just below the writing cluster, and Better Homes & Gardens (0.74) and Coastal Living (0.73) are the only two neighbors in the top 10 that share Amazing Stories' own Magazine subcategory. Celebrity Cruises (0.73) and Emeril Lagasse (0.72) round out the set, both pointing toward an aspirational leisure orientation. Philip Morris (0.72) is the outlier — a Brands/Other entity with no clear thematic cluster affiliation.
Across the top 10, the subcategory mix spans Professionals, Blogs, Home brands, Magazines, Travel, and TV Personalities — a genuinely split audience that bridges a book-and-writing world on one side and an upscale home-and-lifestyle world on the other.
