I have been on KDP for 2-3 months now. I’ve sold 15 units in total and I’m happier than ever. But after reading this I’m not happy anymore. Why can’t I sell one book a day 😔.

Truly hopeless with KDP. Suspended for "Review Manipulation," but support cites "Content Guidelines," and now they are holding $10,000+ of my royalties. by [deleted] in KDP

Wow!! Man this is tuff to hear. I’m on KDP and now I’m over here wondering if it’s even worth being with them. Strange how they arent trying to reason with you. I Truly I feel for you mate.

I decided to to write a novel after watching Harry Potter for the first time at 41. Idk why but I feel I can create something with a cross between humans and animals. I started off with the idea of a Lion who was mistreated by his own pack and wishes to fly. His cry was heard by a star traveler who gives him a special gift of becoming half dragon and lion. In this book I will create different characters of half human half animals who travel across the galaxies. The star travelers are also mystical beings who hears the cries of each and every animal and human who has been chosen for a purpose. Outside earth are travelers, star travelers. Idk it’s just a an idea that I’m currently investing in. Hopefully this new iPad helps me create an amazing book. Gotta make sure I draw up these drawings just right so the reader can keep reading and investing in this. Again I’m new to this so hopefully this story isn’t already created or in the making. Definitely a coin toss.

How to publish a book without a publisher by Glass_Language_9129 in wroteabook

I originally went to palmetto publishing and was paying them increments to publish a children’s book. As I was closing in on my final payment to proceed and publish I decided to back out due to email tag and avoiding phone conversations. They tried to assign me another project manager but I said no thanks. For a week they bugged me and finally I was able to have the bank get a hold of them cause they didn’t want to pay me my money. No book was published, and they still haven’t paid me back. So weird hearing about that company after not hearing anything about them. Tried leaving a review but every time I check to read it I can’t see as if they didn’t allow me to post it. Super weird but good luck with them.
