KDP recently shared another reminder about publishing scams, and I think this is especially important for newer authors. 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗞𝗗𝗣 𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘. KDP does not sell editing, formatting, book-design, marketing, or publishing packages. There are legitimate independent professionals who offer these services, but they do not work for KDP just because they mention Amazon in their name or advertisement. Scammers may contact you using your real name, book title, or even an actual Amazon office address. Having that information does not prove they’re connected to Amazon. Most of it can be found publicly on your book’s listing. A few things to remember: KDP will never ask for your Amazon password or complete banking information through an email, phone call, or direct message. KDP does not contact authors through social media to sell publishing services, promotions, or “rewards.” Don’t trust a company simply because it appears in a Google search or paid advertisement. Never allow someone you don’t trust to log into your KDP account. If you need account support, sign in at 𝗸𝗱𝗽.𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻.𝗰𝗼𝗺 and use the official 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗨𝘀 form. Also be careful with messages claiming a major publisher, movie producer, or Amazon representative has suddenly discovered your book and needs an upfront payment to move forward. Research the company independently before sending money or sharing personal information. If something doesn’t feel right, pause before clicking a link or paying an invoice. You can always ask inside our community before moving forward.

𝗔 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀’ 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 📚 I saw this Little Free Library and thought it could be a fun way to share your book with people in your own community. If you’re a local author, you could leave a signed copy in a neighborhood library and add a small insert introducing yourself. It’s a simple way for someone nearby to discover your book—and maybe even realize an author lives right in their area. Your insert could say: 𝗔 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 I’m [your name], an author from [your town], and I hope you enjoy this book! If you read it and enjoy it, I’d be grateful if you’d consider leaving an honest review. Reviews help other readers discover books like mine. Thanks for reading, [Your name] [Website or QR code, optional] No pressure to review, of course—the book is a gift. But a friendly note gives readers a way to learn more about you and lets them know an honest review would mean a lot. Have you ever left one of your books in a Little Free Library or another community book-sharing spot?

It’s 11/11 here in Sydney…..Coco Is Love available in on Amazon 🌼🌼🌼
