So, my publisher received this little gem of an email today from Amazon:
Hello,
During our review, we found that the title of the following book(s) might cause a misleading customer experience.
Write About Now: Bestselling Authors on Origin Stories, Creative Inspiration and the Birth of Their Careers by Small, Jonathan
Titles that can cause a misleading customer experience may include:
• Unnecessary repetitive terms or phrases within the title, subtitle or series field
• Unauthorized reference to other titles or authors
• Unauthorized reference to a trademarked term
• Reference to sales rank (e.g., "bestselling")
It’s that last one that did me in. Now I need to think up another way to say “Bestselling Authors.” I have some ideas, and I have gone with “Literary Sensations”—for now.
But I wanted to run it by my trusted readers first. What do you think?
Please comment below.
You're kind or right about that. Argh
Isn't an origin story and the birth of someone's career basically the same thing?
Titles are hardddd!
