This is very helpful. I just got my first book (that has been up for a month) BLOCKED, but the email doesn't say WHY this 350 page book is blocked. They really should say exactly what it is rather than referring back to the guidelines. Now, I have to wait for a response and hope they tell me exactly what it is. How incredibly frustrating!

I selected and modified a book cover for my first KDP coloring book, then I created a templet, but now when I drag my cover onto the template it covers the whole template, can't even see the "transparency" button and cannot move the cover image. What am I doing wrong. I really don't want to create a new cover...

This is happening to me. I took a break from publishing and when I came back it now automatically blocks anything I try to publish. The latest was a kids coloring book. I’m diligent in creating content and meta data that meets guidelines. I’m not getting any response from KDP are: what is prompting these blocks.

Good content as usual! Thanks for sharing this Nuria. AI can definitely be a useful tool for image reference but for clean lineart images it has a long way to go. Most black and white AI images intended for coloring books are too detailed and look more like a black and white photograph. Quality is good though but in my opinion not suitable for coloring. Thanks for sparking new ideas.

Quick question that’s not necessarily related, when you release your books do you follow the process of getting them copyrighted? How do you go about that? Thank you so much in advanced!!
@TheHomeBoss7 күн бұрын
Your books are automatically copyrighted the minute you create them. You can copyright them officially, but I see little point in that, it would only maybe help if you were to go to court for a legal dispute. But your automatic copyright would cover you anyway. If you are worried about people copying you, report any copies to Amazon, who will remove the copy. Unfortunately, I have to do this regularly, and Amazon is usually very good at removing those books.

@@TheHomeBoss thank you so much for your reply!! I really appreciate your time. Would you advise to have a page in the book stating it’s copyrighted etc? What do you do with your books? Thank you so much!!

As an author who has faced significant issues with KDP, I want to alert fellow authors about potential criminal activities and inform you of your options for recourse. We should not hesitate to report these activities. Corporations cannot hide behind their own rules and guidelines if they are engaging in illegal actions. Adding illegal activities on top of banning could implicate criminal censorship. My experience includes: Fraud: Withholding royalties without justification. Despite my books being initially approved, royalties were withheld when my account was terminated. Max Penalty: Up to 30 years in prison and substantial fines. Harassment: My KDP account was terminated twice without clear explanations, causing significant emotional distress and professional harm. Max Penalty: Civil penalties, including substantial fines and compensatory damages. Economic Sabotage: Unfairly delisting my entire library of 150 books disrupted my income stream and damaged my reputation. Max Penalty: Potentially severe civil penalties, including punitive damages. Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress: Lack of communication and transparency left me in the dark, severely impacting my mental health. Ignoring my communications exacerbated the issue. Max Penalty: Civil damages, including compensation for emotional suffering. Tampering with Organic Algorithm (Wire Fraud): Manipulating search algorithms to disadvantage my books has long-term effects on sales and visibility. Max Penalty: Up to 20 years in prison and fines. Theft of Royalties: Misconduct with withholding royalties is essentially theft. My earnings were withheld without any clear reason. Max Penalty: Criminal charges leading to imprisonment and restitution of stolen amounts. Whistleblower Retaliation: Threats or actions against those who report issues can lead to criminal penalties. KDP’s refusal to address valid grievances is concerning. Max Penalty: Up to 10 years in prison and fines. Obstruction of Justice: Ignoring my communications and valid grievances can be seen as obstructing justice. Max Penalty: Up to 20 years in prison and fines. To those facing similar issues, I recommend: Report to the FBI: Use the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) to file your complaint. File a Complaint with the FTC and BBB: These organizations can investigate and potentially take action against unfair business practices. Utilize AI Tools: Load all your emails with KDP into ChatGPT or similar tools to assist you in the reporting process and document your case thoroughly. Stay strong, and remember that we can collectively push for fair treatment and hold corporations accountable for their actions.

I spent 18 hours over two days last week trying to upload my high content, heavily illustrated book. It is a large file but less than the maximum. The upload failed at least 12 times at over an hour of uploading each time. I spent the last six hours of the second day with chat support. The first one told me that I didn't put in a page count - there is no place to put in a page count. Then it went downhill from there. I must have gone through at least 8 different chat people - if they are people. Chat support gave me a link - twice - to upload it so they can look at it - both times the upload was successful - both times they told me it wasn't there. They told me to save as draft when the upload failed to my books but when I did that I got an error that the feature wasn't available. The only way to get out of the error was to refresh the page which deletes the upload that failed. When I told chat that, the person would leave the conversation! Someone else would come in and ask "what can I help you with today?". I would have to start all over explaining the problem. After six hours of chat "support" I got frustrated, couldn't type, couldn't think and then they told me that if I can't upload it - as if it was my fault - then there is nothing they can do. I wonder if they are blocking books at the upload process. I have one other book I created last year which uploaded easily with no errors. I can't bring myself to even try again with my beautiful book that I worked on for 9 months.

This video is so "on-point" that I can't even express it. I hope it goes viral within the writing community because the blogs are encouraging writers to use AI to write whole entire books, with no editing, nothing and KDP has already fixed its algorithm to check and find these things on impact. It is a great tool for research but is causing complacency within the author's creativity! It imposes these stringent rules on everyone.

Thank you, Nouria, for your efforts. That is really what we do and say about why Amazon is blocking and terminating our account. You've really explained what we are doing and how to do it best. I've got a question. Many people do this, and I'm one of them. We stuff many keywords in the title and subtitles because titles rank better than the back end keywords. My question is, if we put only keywords in 7 slot, will our books rank as well as if we put them in the title and subtitle? ❤❤❤❤❤
@TheHomeBossАй бұрын
Keywords in titles and subtitles have the most weight, but the 7 keyword slots also help to rank your books, so it's super important to make sure you follow all the rules. People are trying to game the system but once your account is terminated, there is no way back. Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your experience.

Thank you Nuria,, love your videos, great video and good points. I love AI tools and think they are an important part of helping with faster research, acting as a writing assistant, and creating beautiful images. For me, its about using AI tools with care and thoughfulness. I think some people using AI tools don't care about the quality and there is too much detail, fuzzy lines and greyscale for coloring books, some book makers just don't care about quality or the customer user experience - I would not buy some of those books. I use ai to make coloring books, but I go to great lengths in my ai edits to remove greyscale and artifacts, and upscaling so the lines are sharp and clean, and spent a long time perfecting a prompt that gives me great images - I go to great lengths to make my AI books look like they are not created by AI - but it takes a bit of extra time per image to make it look just right for the customer. 💕💕💕🌻🌻🌻🌻
