This Small Detail Can Instantly Kill Your Book On Amazon KDP
Before it’s even had the tiniest chance to shine.
You know how I feel about the current sea of AI books flooding Amazon.
But there’s one thing these books are really good at —
They help make high-quality books stand out and shine.

The categories in which the book is listed are way off. But not in the way you’d think.
The 3 categories puzzle
When you’re uploading your book to Amazon KDP, you get 3 category options to give your book a home.
