Amazon KDP content review team are a joke
So, I published a book with KDP. Then I tried to publish another book listing the same contributors. The give the option of listing contributors, so I listed them. For some reason, this time around, the content review team decided I listed too many contributors, that it would confuse readers, which made absolutely no sense as I'd just published a book with the same contributor names. Nevertheless, I reduced the contributor listed, to the point where I just listed the author and editor. They still took issue with this, saying it will confuse readers. I emailed them, but they hit back with the same generic responses, never bothering actually answer my questions. After ages I got a manager to call me, but he was from the wrong department and so couldn't tell me anything. I am still none the wiser as to why I'm given the option of listing contributors, but can't actually list them. Why on earth would it confuse readers? I have just attempted to publish another book, listing just an author and illustrator, but again for some reason, this might confuse readers. The eBook has been published with the contributor names, but for some reason, listing the same names for the paperback will confuse readers. I am baffled and have not words except avoid publishing and dealing with Amazon KDP at all costs. I would've given zero stars if I could.
