@Yna Davis @Elissa Graeser @Julie Broad Is it okay to use the word "relieve" in the following subtitle, or would it be considered a violation on Amazon of making a mental health medical claim? Here's the subtitle...it's for a meditation book... "How to Relieve Stress, Anxiety, and Depression and Restore a Sense of Inner Peace and Calm" I know that words like "....will Prevent Heart Disease" or "will lower blood pressure" for ex. are medical health claims that shouldn't be used, but I'm not sure about the word "relieve". Is it problematic?

I use photos from DepositPhotos.com in some of my books. However, I’ve never been totally sure how to give proper attribution for the photos. What is the correct way to do this? Is it enough to say the following in my copyright notice? “All images used in this publication have been licensed, purchased, or obtained from sources that permit commercial use.” ….OR….“Images are royalty-free for commercial use.” ....OR....is there some other way to word this that would be better? OR do you write the name of each Photographer's Nickname underneath each photo like this "Photographer's Nickname/DepositPhotos" OR do you write the name of each Photographer’s Nickname/DepositPhotos with the page number of their photo in the copyright notice? I’ve asked Amazon about this and they said I could do any of the above, but I wanted to double-check that information. @Elissa Graeser @Kate Duncan

QUESTIONS: 1) Is it okay to use CHATGPT as an editor for parts of my non-fiction book? 2) If so, what am I supposed to make of what the Grammarly AI Detector is finding as possible AI generated text? See details below. 3) Can you recommend a good AI Detector? If so, what percentage of text is okay to possibly appear as AI generated? I write non-fiction books in the health and spiritual/self-help niche. I’ve always had ghostwriters write books for me and I would often tweak a few things here and there before publishing. I recently heard someone online say that they use CHATGPT as an editor. I thought I’d give that a try to clean up some sections of a couple books I thought could be better. After doing so, I ran the book through the Grammarly AI Detector and it said that some of my text looked AI generated. Not a lot, but some. I made a note of what it showed me and continued scanning my text. When it got to the recipe section of one of my books, it said again, that some of my text looked AI generated. But this time it was ridiculous because it was saying that ingredient lists were AI generated. It also cited nutritional values as AI generated. I then scanned the exact same section of text from the original copy of my book before I added CHATGPT edits, and the AI Detector cited the same things re: ingredient lists and nutritional values. Not sure what to think of this.

@Julie Broad – Hi Julie, Can you please clarify something in this recent video you posted? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HNpJExCw_g At 3:55 you said the following… “now more than ever you should prioritize verified reviews.” Then at 4:21 you said to “really avoid outside copies or PDFs as much as possible with your reviewer pushes.” So, in light of this, what about the standard practice of ARC copies that readers receive via Booksprout, Book Funnel, or PDF? This has been my main way of getting initial reviews for my new books. How would I change this to receive verified reviews from ARCs?

I know that Amazon’s rules state that our book cover can’t be similar to another book cover, so how do we check if our book cover is truly unique? I know that Amazon can be pretty strict about this. 1 - I usually just scroll through as many books in my niche as I can, but is that enough? 2 - Is there a tool that we can use to make sure that there isn’t a cover out there somewhere on Amazon that looks like mine? 3 - Curious to know what others do to make sure their cover is truly unique?
