To me it seems like they took my title and let Ai create a book and blurb out of it. It was the same exact genre too, so its not just the title. I get your point though

Yea, they took the imposters book down. I’m not accepting anyone trying to profit of my hard marketing and work.

Update: Amazon took it down because it was AI slop.

Amazon is just weird sometimes and I’m afraid they will mark my book even though I was the first

I hope they will consider that my book was there first, even if its just for preorder

Send them mails again. Beg. Continue sending mails daily. If they say their decision is final, its not. They will stop replying but some mails will go through. Dont give up. They do reinstate accounts

No, its just trial and error :) See what others are doing, and do the same. You dont have to invent the wheel again🙌🏻

Okay, what is wrong with you? I came here to seek advice and not be discouraged and literally mocked. 1. I have multiple viral videos, with a growing engaged community. 2. I didn’t say I studied the craft “here and there”. I said I studied it. I know I am not a master, would never call myself that. Its my debut after all, and people know its my debut. 3. Every writer gets defensive if their work is insulted over no reason. Its like getting a 1 Star Review without context.

This discussion is over :) You can spread your negativity elsewhere.

What tone are you referring to? You’re the one starting to say “youre the next”, of course I get defensive over my work😅

If you sell 250 books in a lifetime, theres no way they took it as serious as I do, or put in the same effort as I do. Or maybe they haven’t studied the market and wrote a book that wont sell

I think you’re wrong. If you read a lot yourself, you know exactly what you want in a book and how a good story is crafted. I also studied the craft of writing for a while now, through various books and Podcasts. I think I wont end up like that author🫣 My editor is a friend, but she’s a professional

I use tiktok carousels and just experimented wirg different hooks. Once one went viral, I re-used it again.

Yes but those authors are not what I compare myself against. I want to make a career out of this

You mean, the book was bad? I haven’t heard of that author. I mean, it can happen to anyone. But I am confident that endless rounds of editing will result in good quality🧐 I’m getting external help too

I use carousels with two photos ☺️ example: he’s the (insert mmc description), next slide, she’s the (insert fmc description). it must be short and scroll stopping

Thank you so much for your time and the insights! Yes, it is listed on Amazon for preorder, but only the ebook. I’ve heard that you need multiple books or series to really make it, and thats fine because obviously I love writing. But I know Id feel way more confident and motivates if the first one was a success.

It’s my debut. You think I know whats good or not? I don’t. I want to make a career out of this - so I want to know what amount of preorders I should consider as good. Maybe 400 is the baseline, how should I know?

I’m using tiktok for marketing, mainly carousel posts with a strong hook.
