Lance Charnes (lcharnes) For the indie authors in the house: have you had any success adding editorial reviews to your book's UK product page?

I know it's possible for a book's UK page to have editorial reviews (Gone Girl has them, for instance). I haven't been able to figure out how to do it. For the US pages, it's easily done in US Author Central, but there's no visible way to do it in UK Author Central. I don't know if this is because I'm in the US and the electrons get tired going across the Atlantic, or because the ogres guarding the product-page treasury keep all authors outside the walls.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Jim | 21812 comments I've looked on .co.uk and I cannot see how to get editorial reviews included either
(note this is probably not significant, I'm no techie

Paul (paullev) | 197 comments Last time I looked, there was no way to do this - the UK site allows much less Author Central input than does Amazon US.

The editorial reviews you see for Gone Girl no doubt all come from the publisher.

Lance Charnes (lcharnes) Partial answer, for paper books:

- Fair-use Citations from Reviews (up to 5)--Please include only one citation per text box (up to 20 words per review)
.
.
.
Alternatively, if you cannot contact your publisher, Author Central team can manually change description for you. In this case please provide exact text of the new version of selected sections that are following above limits and book's ISBN 10 number to Author Central team by using link below:

https://authorcentral.amazon.co.uk/gp...


Now the catch: the review doesn't flow through to your Kindle book's UK page. UK Author Central will refer you to UK KDP, which will refer you to (wait for it)...UK Author Central.
