Hi Andrew! My 5 books are blocked which I made from bookbolt software I send amazon email than they say they will review the book again and after reviewing the books they blocked again I created my book for the kids by my own will you tell me what is the issue??

Hello Asrarah. The most common issues for children's books being blocked are copyright issues and content guidelines. The third reason is usually a technical issue, like a cover design not fitting, etc. If you're being blocked and not just rejected, then something has to be violating the amazon algorithm. Another common issue is using trademarked images or content. If the books or covers are using any copyrighted / trademarked material including images, then Amazon won't allow it. Everything must be original in your work. AI has a bad habit of combining trademarked work. Hope this helps. The only other thing to do, if it's none of those things, is to message amazon kdp directly and ask them for a specific, detailed reasoning for the blocks.

Well, this is a good start. You've opened a line of communication. I've heard of a couple cases where puzzle books are flagged as periodicals (like magazines) be flagged if they're released too fast. KDP does not allow magazines or periodicals, so they get banned. Hopefully, Amazon will get you proper answers. If they gave it 5 days, I'm also hoping that means a human being will look at it for you and not the AI. Best of Luck!

I'd start with some questions. Is your book a notebook? KDP has been rejecting these for a while now, mostly due to spine issues and a plethora of misleading information. Which is the next question: Is there any misleading information in your book? (ie: supposed to relieve stress, but actually causes it). Another issue may be age range. I've read some stories where authors clicked the wrong age, for under 18, when their book was definitely for 18+ (erotica type stuff). Figure out if there are any conflicting issues with content. If not, then your next step would be to message Amazon directly. They're fairly good at getting back to you if you ask the questions nicely. Hope this helps. It can be a bear sometimes.
