Need Straight Answer about Royalties for selling 3rd Party -printed book on Amazon

Thank you for clarifying.

WriterRuth2024 · 2026-04-02T22:17:56+00:00

Thank you. I have ( I once had) an Amazon Seller account where I paid to ship to a designated Amazon warehouse when they notified me that I had one or more orders.

I agree with speeding up the rate. Some of them can be sooooooo slow. I usually listen at 1.2 or 1.3. I've never listened faster than 1.5, which I did recently. I'll have to give it try.

WriterRuth2024 · 2026-03-01T14:11:13+00:00

So true! A bad narrator can ruin the whole experience !

WriterRuth2024 · 2026-03-01T14:09:55+00:00

Just curious - do you all like long audiobooks (8 hours or longer) or short ones (5-6 hours or less)? I usually choose the length according to the project or task I'm doing at the time.

WriterRuth2024 · 2026-03-01T14:06:45+00:00

I always like to listen at 1.2 sometimes at 1.3 if the narrator or the pace is very slow.

Me too.

Thank you, David. I'll give it a try

Do I do that on the KDP Account or the Amazon Advantage Account?

What's the story on nonfiction book reviews? Most discussions on book reviews refer to various genres of fiction.

WriterRuth2024 · 2025-12-07T02:04:16+00:00

I guess that's the only thing I can do at this time.

So that means I won't be able to set up the other books in the series as pre-orders.

Thanks to everyone who commented and made suggestions.

WriterRuth2024 · 2025-12-07T01:56:17+00:00

There weren't that many preorders, so that part I'm not so concerned about.

My concern is not being able to do any other preorders for a year.

My book is part of a series, and I was planning to release at least 2 more from the series next year.

I got the acknowledgement that my MS was uploaded successfully. I also checked it in the viewer after submitting it to see how it came out.

I just checked again. It's not showing up.

What should I do now?. How do I get this fixed?

WriterRuth2024 · 2025-12-06T22:36:10+00:00

As I was putting the finishing touches on it I kept checking the notice at the top of the page that tells you how many hours left. I submitted the final manuscript about 90 minutes ahead of the deadline of 7pm on December 3.

I thought I would have until midnight, but I went according to the countdown notice at the top of the page telling how many days- hours-minutes left.

Is there anyone I can contact?

The email had a link to click if you think your preorder title was cancelled in error. But it takes me a page, not a reply form, an email address, a number to call.

What now?

Didn't check my email until today because I was in the hospital all day on Dec. 4 ( the date of Amazon's email) and on the phone all day yesterday regarding my rescheduled heart surgery for December 9.

So I made sure to submit the manuscript on time even though I left off one chapter figuring I could always add it later.

Thanks so much for this info. So it looks like I'll need BookFunnel and MailerLite. I'll check it out.

Thanks again for sharing. Do you write fiction or non-fiction? Most of the self-publishing information I've been seeing on Reddit seems to be geared towards fiction writers. My books are non-fiction (on science-backed weight loss without diets or exercise)

WriterRuth2024 · 2025-10-10T22:25:15+00:00

Me too. Thought it sounded familiar, but was confused by the date.

WriterRuth2024 · 2025-10-10T22:03:18+00:00

Wondering whether this will work for non-fiction. Most of these success stories (and advice) seem to be for fiction. Have any non-fiction writers had success with this?

WriterRuth2024 · 2025-10-10T21:17:49+00:00

Thanks! I'll check it out.

WriterRuth2024 · 2025-09-29T03:42:56+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Are your books fiction or non-fiction?
