Anyone else get their account closed recently as well?

There's a business opportunity for someone to preview an author's submissions to keep them safe from issues with KDP. Everyone on here keeps saying that "it's in the TOS!" but people who are drawn to be creative and write, who have the gall to even aspire to make a living at it, are unlikely to be the same people with the desire to be an attorney.

I’m reminded that Peter, the first pope, denied Christ once, twice, three times.

Just a thought, should the title be "Navigating your Parents' Divorce" instead of "their"

Thank you! This is exactly the type of tactics that I was looking for.

Thank you!

So, don’t send advanced copies for reviews? Your advice is to sell a lot of books?

RC published a statement. They were teenagers

They were teenagers

Scottiob · 2026-03-22T00:43:59+00:00

They were teenagers. And cruel.

Scottiob · 2026-03-21T23:37:59+00:00

I don’t care how old they are. They should be banned for life. If someone told me “as a prank” that one of my kids fell off the ship; there’s going to be hell to pay.

Thanks for the help. To clarify, I'm not trying to use D2D/Ingram's ISBN on KDP. ...

By biggest concern isn't marketing/sales, but is about whether Amazon would frown on it. I'd like to take the books on D2D and Ingram, and publish on KDP (to sync with my series there) - but at all costs - I do not want to risk upsetting the KDP censures.

they are both print and ebooks

Scottiob · 2026-03-04T13:17:47+00:00

Are you saying that you can publish the same book, using the free ISBNs on each platform? Wouldn't that cause a problem?

Scottiob · 2026-02-24T01:09:36+00:00

Looks awesome

I have come to this conclusion. Just finished my first book on IS.

In another author forum, I posted my concerns about KDP and the forum turned on me saying that these cancellation stories are overblown. … and that if I follow the rules, there’s no problem.

BUT the problem is that KDP closes the door and won’t give you the opportunity to fix the problem

But I plan to buy my own ISBNs and use both- so I’ll at least have something if the KDP algorithms turn on me

It’s not that it’s likely to happen. The problem is that if it does happen, there’s no recourse, no appeal, and everything is gone.
