KDP Optimization Checklist
Agency Best Seller Checklist
Note: Proofs are different from regular copies. They have a “Not for Resale” watermark on the cover but no ISBN. During printing, KDP places a unique barcode in the lower right-hand corner of the back cover. If you have images or text on this part of the cover, the barcode will cover them.
Author copies can be ordered for any paperback book with a “Live” status in your KDP account. Author copies are available to you at Print Cost + Shipping.
By default, the KDP account allows you to list 10 contributors and their titles. To include additional authors for books with multiple authors:
- Add the first 10 authors as contributors
- Publish the book
- Once published, Amazon assigns an ASIN number to the book
- Contact KDP Support
Option 1: Email KDP support – kdp-support@amazon.com (must be done from the email address associated with the KDP Account) with the request provided below.
Option 2: Login to the KDP account where the book is published.
- Select Help from top menu
- Select Book Details from side menu
- Select Changing Book Details from submenu
- Enter the request information provided below
Subject: Request To Add Contributors
I would like to request to have the following Authors added to the title “[BOOK TITLE]” with ASIN: [asin#].
These are listed as First Name Last Name
