Publish And Be Damned

Problems With Failed Amazon Publications, But I Am Still Learning

A Couple Of My Books On Amaz

Introduction

I've had an issue with Amazon, which has been going on for years. Basically, it is that once you publish something, you can't delete it.

Often, these appear on your Amazon profile as unavailable, even if you archive and unpublish them, which looks very unprofessional.

Today I came up with an imperfect workaround, and I now have no books in that situation (though there is one that I am going to use for an ebook in the future).

The music is "Book Of Rules" by The Heptones, which I try to cover on my YouTube channel.

So What Did I Do?

While I could change the names of some of the books, others I couldn't, so I thought I would repurpose them, and if I couldn't change the name, I could still change the cover.

These are the two where I couldn't change the name:

But they are full of stories.

Thanks to all I learned from our new bestseller, I created two new books today, this is one, but the title is misleading as there are twenty haiku in the volume. I may change it tomorrow.

The others are in review.

This is my Amazon page:

The two spurious books are on there at the moment, but they will be superseded, and I will have nothing annoying me on Amazon.

While it is not perfect, I have fourteen self-published books on Amazon. If you want to do it yourself, check this out:

Thank you for reading, and hope I told you something useful.
