A is for Amazon

Are you ready!? It is time for A to Z and we are diving in! For a full list of participants, check out here.



For anyone who didn't see my theme posts, this month I will be bringing up a tool for book marketing or promotion and asking all of YOU for experiences, knowledge, and ideas.







Do we need to be Amazon Warriors?

So back to the day... A is for Amazon.



You all know that right? And this is not even remotely a new topic related to book publishing, but Amazon is DOING some new things... they are doing some quality control. They are doing some imprints that require a query process... So there are some NEW Amazon things I'd like to know...





Anybody have experience or read anything about this new quality control system?



What do you think of it? (It SOUNDS, in concept, good to me –you get through a few hoops and then have a quality stamp of sorts, but I get the impression it isn't exactly working this way?  What do you know? What opinions have you formed? What have you read?)



Have you used any of the select functions?

Is this the same thing as their imprints?

Do you think these are a good idea?

Do books sell well that go through this process?



Any other Amazon themes you want to bring up?



So go ahead! You're the experts! Make me smart!!!
