Hi there

I’m worried I might be in trouble with KDP. Book first was published through them both ebook and paperback.

Last week I added the paperback only to Ingram. This time I wanted to add the subtitle that is on the cover to the book so did so.

I presume Amazon has pulled through metadata though? As now the Amazon listing has the subtitle which of course I can’t alter on the paperback unless creating a new edition

I’ve panicked and removed it from Ingram and hoping that will pull through to Amazon

Because as I understand it I can’t have different titles for ebook (without subtitle) and paperback

It also added the ‘series no’ to the title which was a field on Ingram.

Any advice or feedback if people have encountered similar I’d appreciate

(Same ISBN obviously and I sourced it away from Amazon so it works on both)

Hi there,

I’m an indie author from Hertfordshire in the UK.

The Right Members Club is a political satire, a little in the spirit of The Thick of It by way of Peep Show.

Disgraced MPs saving the country. A dictator the people love.

It’s been brilliant publishing and promoting it and I’m proud to say it achieved number one best seller in both political humour and comedy on Amazon during the recent local elections.

Happy to answer questions about it!

Have a lovely day

Cheers

Louis

Hi,

My book was number 1 in its category for ten days. Lost it this morning.

I've had 'A #1 Political Humour bestseller' in my sales description on Amazon

Is that okay to keep using or should I remove or alter to 'formerly'

Cheers,

Louis

THANKS ALL:

I have removed a review quote and the best seller part. Just to be extra safe.

I posted here a while ago about my satirical novel that was inspired by The Thick of It.

Everyone was very kind. I even found an audiobook narrator for the book from that post.

It hit number one best seller on Amazon last week in both political humour and for a brief time, comedy.

Over the moon with it. The Thick of It has a huge audience wanting more of that sort of stuff. So onwards and upwards.

'I really enjoyed your novel....way of writing a fucking awful story...'

Typo in title :(
Hi there,

After starting a countdown deal on KDP and heavy social and ad marketing, my book climbed to the top spot last night. Great feeling but I don't want to rest on my laurels with it.

I've taken screenshots, posted it all over socials, is there anything obvious I could be doing to maximise this small window of opportunity. My book is in a tiny niche (political humour).

Thanks in advance,

Cheers

Louis

Hi everyone - to celebrate or commiserate the local elections my political satire (think The Thick of It) is 99p on Kindle until May 9th! 

The Right Members Club - Disgraced politicians save the country from a benevolent dictator.  

It's on Amazon! Happy to answer any questions about it. 

If this post isn't allowed, then apologies and feel free to delete. 

I'm an indie author from Hertfordshire (Stevenage) and this is my debut!

Hi there,

I dropped this on the KDP subreddit too but thought I'd ask here as well.

My book published a little over three weeks ago. I'm very happy with the results so far but I wanted to ask if there was anything obvious (or less obvious) that I could be doing.

The book is in a small niche and performing well in the category on Amazon.

I've run ads on all major social platforms as well as doing my own organic content. But am now debating a price promotion to coincide with the local elections here on May 7th. I was thinking of only doing the Kindle version - do it down to £0.99 from £3.99 for the week. Keep the paperback at £9.99.

I've got some local events lined up and have sent a few copies to smaller booktok/insta accounts, which they've said they'll review.

Any advice and opinions welcome! Cheers

The book is in a small niche (British political satire) and the link can be found in my bio as I know I can't post it here. If anyone could look at my listing and suggest improvements I'd be all ears.
