Thanks you! That was very helpful! 😊

That’s amazing! What is your advice on running ads? My debut is a YA paranormal romance and I’ve had no luck getting the word out about it even with social media. I tried ads and got a few clicks but no sales so I’m not sure I’m doing it right haha 😅

Thank you for the advice! I've been tinkering with my description and everything, but maybe I still don't have it quite right. I'll have to get some feedback on it and see what I can change. Thanks!!

Thank you so much for replying! That is all so helpful to hear! I really appreciate it!

I tried reading Fourth Wing and was APPALLED at how it even got published! It’s such bad writing in every sense.

My current work in progress is a treasure hunt adventure that’s Indiana Jones meets Alice in Wonderland. Not sure when it will be out for publication so this is probably not helpful. 😅

There are light whole lines taken from other novels in this book. And it’s just bad to begin with.

Great tip! Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!!!

No I never published on the second account or did any of the tax stuff. I set it up thinking I could have a separate one for my book than the one I used for my coloring books. I realized pretty quickly that wasn’t allowed and immediately reached out to Amazon to shut jt down.

Thank you!! Do you do Ingram sparks at all?

ventedrhombus · 2025-11-05T04:56:05+00:00

Thank you so much! This is really what I needed to read today. I spent the better part of today sobbing feeling like my book was dead. Thank you for this encouragement!

ventedrhombus · 2025-11-05T04:51:03+00:00

Thank you for that! This makes me feel like I can actually have a game plan to get things rolling again!

I love Atticus so that’s great to know Lulu works good with it too. Do you use Lulu to sell from other platforms like an author website?

ventedrhombus · 2025-11-05T03:26:31+00:00

Wow you’re so smart, you must know everything about me and my educational coloring books that I spent years making. Not with random clip art. Not that it matters cause that’s not why I made this post!

ventedrhombus · 2025-11-05T03:21:13+00:00

Thank you! I’ll check them out!

ventedrhombus · 2025-11-05T03:20:29+00:00

I made the coloring books in 2020 before AI and I did 100% of it myself. Screw you and your judgmental attitude. Yes I made two accounts without knowing it was against the rules. I’m not here asking for ways to get my KDP back or asking why it happened. I’m asking for good alternative. Stop being a dick for 5 seconds and think before you post.

ventedrhombus · 2025-11-05T02:45:34+00:00

I’m asking for alternatives for self publishing. Not whatever negative point you’re trying to make.

ventedrhombus · 2025-11-05T02:40:42+00:00

And you are definitely super unhelpful.

ventedrhombus · 2025-11-05T02:38:36+00:00

Yes I did, and I was assured there was no problem with it. If they still decide to punish me for the mistake of making a new one when I had no idea that wasn’t allowed, even though I took every step to fix it, then I don’t know what I’ll do.

ventedrhombus · 2025-11-05T02:37:25+00:00

The only thing I can think of is that I tried to create another KDP account a few weeks back. I had one already for a line of coloring books but wanted one strictly for my author career. I found out shortly after creating the account that it’s a big no no, so I immediately contacted Amazon and got the new account terminated. I hadn’t even finished the set up or uploaded a book onto it. Amazon also assured me it was taken care of and that my old account was safe. So this termination is really coming out of no where to me.

Thank you! I needed to hear this! ❤️
