What Book Reviewers Expect from Authors and Publishers

If you’ve ever sent a review request and heard nothing back, it’s easy to feel ignored. Most of the time, it’s not personal. Book reviewers are usually juggling a backlog, a full inbox, and the pressure of keeping their audience’s trust. They may love reading, but reviewing is still work. It takes time to finish a book, take notes, write something honest, format it for their platform, and post it consistently.

Why Is Amazon Shutting Down KDP Accounts?

If you keep hearing about Amazon shutting down KDP accounts, it usually means authors are getting suspended, terminated, or having titles removed after Amazon flags something in the account or in the books being sold. For most people, it is not a mystery “Amazon woke up angry” situation. It is Amazon protecting readers, protecting its store from spam, and enforcing rules that publishers agree to when they use KDP. The tricky part is that the email you receive can feel short, and the issue can be something you did not realize was risky.

The Role of Creative Design in Book Marketing

Most authors think marketing starts after the book is published. In reality, marketing starts much earlier, often before the book ever reaches a reader’s hands. It starts with how the book looks, how it presents itself, and how easily someone can recognize it as something worth paying attention to. Creative design plays a much bigger role in book marketing than many authors expect.

The Role of Children’s Book Marketing Services in Book Sales

The hardest part about writing a children’s book isn’t actually writing the book. It is the moment you realize that after all that work, the world might not even notice it. You spend months picking out the perfect shades for your illustrations. You spend weeks making sure the moral of the story isn’t too “preachy” but still hits home. Then, you hit publish, and… nothing happens. A few friends buy it. Your mom buys two copies. Then the sales chart goes flat.

How Amazon Marketing Services for Authors Work

Amazon can feel like a lively bookstore with the lights off. Readers are everywhere, shopping carts are filling, and books are selling every minute, yet your title can sit inches away from the action and still be invisible. If you have ever watched your rank bounce around, wondered why a competitor’s book appears above yours, or questioned whether ads are worth it, you are not alone.

How to Use the Pre-Launch Period for a Successful Book Launch

Most authors imagine that once their manuscript is edited and their cover artwork is finalized, the next step is to hit publish and wait for readers to arrive. At Fleck Publisher, we frequently speak with writers who reach this finish line only to realize something important.
