Don't feel bad asking any question. I'm here to help. I didn't know what it stood for either until someone explained it to me.
MPG- Main Page Genre. If you go to the book's page to the right you will find a list of the Genres your book is listed under. This is where you will look to find MPG Paranormal or MPG of creature type (Zombie, Fae, etc). I hope this helps.
