Some common submission problems for our retailer deals may include the following:
- Promotion frequency (we’ve recently promoted this same book 60 days)
- Typographical/grammatical errors (including missing/extraneous commas, punctuation, excessive -ly adverbs, or other obvious writing flaws)
- Improper em dash/en dash formation
- Does not meet minimum length requirements (YA and Adult books must be at least 170 pages for paid books and 100 pages for free novellas)
- Ebook formatting (empty lines between paragraphs, no indentation, etc.)
- Wrong content rating (example: author chose All Ages but the book has profanity, sex, violence, themes, etc. not appropriate for children)
- Preorder—we do not advertise preorders
- Low number of reviews or numerous poor reviews
- Blurb doesn’t sell the book or has too many errors
- Cover doesn’t catch our attention or is wrong for the genre
- Book is in the middle of a series and we haven’t yet promoted the first
- Not a genre we promote.
- Erotica or cover that is too erotic for our family-friendly site
- Discount is not competitive compared with simultaneously submitted books
- Your rating and content combination matches the preferences of a smaller number of subscribers as compared with simultaneously submitted books
