Gage M. | 2 comments Hey Y'all,

Apologies for the potentially imprecise subject line and thank you in advance for any suggestions you may have. This is a tricky issue my small press has been trying to untangle to no avail. This seems like more of a KDP issue than a 카지노싸이트 issue at its core. But, if we can find a workaround on 카지노싸이트, I believe this might solve our problem.

In short: we do an opening print run at Bookmobile 6+ months in advance of pub day and switch to KDP once we've exhausted our print run. Perfect, we've got our print copies, and the title is listed on 카지노싸이트 nice and early! But, in listing our books early on 카지노싸이트, we're not able to list our books for scheduled release on KDP (90 days out from pub day) because the ISBN has already been used. The problem with that: if we add our book to 카지노싸이트 early and we exhaust our opening print run before pub day, we have no way to get copies of the book without doing another print run or doing an "immediate release." Both options are not ideal for us (heightened cost of smaller print run or book releasing early).

We ran into this issue with an author who listed his book early and then we couldn't do a scheduled release. After emailing back and forth with KDP support, they were quite firm on this and didn't help us find a workaround. This forced our hand on the second print run at Bookmobile.

Basically, can y'all suggest any potential workaround that would allow us to list our books on 카지노싸이트 several months in advance of our publication date without getting flagged by Amazon/KDP and preventing a "scheduled release"? I've done so much digging and sifting (on this forum and elsewhere) and can't quite parse out a solution. The only thing that I thought might be remotely feasible: would we able to make a separate edition of the same book (sans ISBN) that we could merge once we'd established the scheduled release?

I appreciate your time and your thoughts, even if your advice is to try talking with KDP support staff or telling me I'm in the wrong place. I'm the Marketing Director for the press and just want the best for my authors. Thank you again!! Appreciate all y'all do for the world of books!

Scott | 6562 comments I'm not sure that any of this has to do with 카지노싸이트.

If we have an ISBN, a book can be listed at any time. We have no control over what Amazon does on its end.

We ask that you not add books to GR without an ISBN (or ASIN if Kindle), as it causes problems and more work for all of us later on.

Gage M. | 2 comments Thanks, Scott! I appreciate your quick response. I figured this was the case. We just want our books listed on GR as early as possible so folks can post their reviews more than 3 months in advance. But given this conflict (since we later use KDP), it seems virtually impossible for us to list our books before that 90 day mark.
