You may notice that your Amazon sales may not match exactly your final sales in royalty reports from Kindle Direct Publishing or your publisher. This is because some orders that customers place do not fully complete, whether due to payment issues, cancellation, or other special circumstances. As such, if you see a discrepancy between your orders and your royalty reports, you should consider the information provided by your publisher or KDP as the official record of your total books sold.

By default, your sales graph shows the most recent 30 days of activity. You can select any date range from the available data by using the calendar tool on the sales dashboard. Set your desired start date and end date, and the graph will update automatically.

The Author Pro Marketing Events feature lets you track the promotional efforts you or your publisher take on behalf of your books. You can monitor any type of Marketing Events you choose: in-person appearances, ad campaigns, price changes, or other efforts.

If you are the editor of a collection of work, please provide the ASIN or ISBN of the book. If you are the editor of a work with one or more primary authors listed, we will not be able to add the book to your bibliography.

Some Editorial Reviews cannot be edited or removed by authors or publishers. These reviews will have titles such as From Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and Library Journal. In order to keep Editorial Reviews objective and informative, we rely on many sources to provide content for this section. We work to create a diversity of opinion on our site, and this may include negative reviews, when they arise.

For this reason, you may sometimes see mismatching numbers between the two reports. Also, while returns will be counted toward sales totals in Sales Info, they will not be reflected in CreateSpace royalty reports.

If you have an active publisher or distributor for a title that our site lists as out of print, you will need to work with your publisher or distributor to register the title and provide us with updates on its availability.

Your publisher or printer may display your royalties based on the quantity Amazon.com originally orders, rather than completed sales. Sales on Amazon.com are not immediately reported to your publisher and can take up to 30 days after the unit has sold.

Please keep in mind that if you contributed to an anthology or another book with multiple contributors, in some cases the book may not be available for you to add to your Author Page. If this is the case for you, please contact us with the information mentioned above.

Amazon.com started requiring writers who want to sell books through its e-book program to tell the company in advance whether their work includes material generated by artificial intelligence. Matt Slocum/AP hide caption

When the super-influential tech journalist Kara Swisher came out with her new memoir, Burn Book, there were reports of seemingly artificial intelligence-generated biographies of her suddenly coming up on Amazon. Swisher promptly responded, telling The New York Times' Hard Fork podcast, "I sent [Amazon CEO] Andy Jassy a note and said, 'What the f***?' You're costing me money," Swisher said.

But while Swisher was able to get the offending books removed from Amazon, the issue of AI-generated scam books has been of widespread concern for authors, most of whom aren't on email terms with the CEO of Amazon.

"Scam books on Amazon have been a problem for years," says Mary Rasenberger, CEO of the Authors Guild, a group that advocates for writers. But she says the problem has multiplied in recent months. "Every new book seems to have some kind of companion book, some book that's trying to steal sales."

Marie Arana is a writer who spent years researching and writing her book LatinoLand: A Portrait of America's Largest and Least Understood Minority. The book came out in February. The day after its release, she went on Amazon to see how it was doing. "Right below the cover of my book was another cover," Arana says. "The cover said 'America's Largest and Least Understood Minority. A Summary of Latinoland.'"

Arana sent NPR a photo of the search result on Amazon. The book says it was written by Clara Bailey. A review of Bailey's work showed that Bailey had published a number of these so-called summaries and put them up for sale on Amazon. NPR asked an Amazon spokesperson about Bailey but did not receive a related response. And the company did not offer anyone up for an interview when asked, generally, about AI-generated books. Since NPR's inquiry, Bailey's books have been removed from Amazon. Bailey's publishing history still appears on Goodreads, which is owned by Amazon.

Amazon spokesperson Lindsay Hamilton sent a statement that outlined the recent steps the company has taken on the AI front. Last year, the company implemented a policy where all publishers using Kindle Direct Publishing must provide information about whether their content is AI generated. There is also a cap to the number of titles that can be published in a day.

"We both proactively prevent books from being listed as well as remove books that do not adhere to those guidelines, including content that creates a poor customer experience," the statement says. "We have more recently begun limiting the publication of summaries and workbooks based on existing titles in our store." It adds: "When patterns of abuse warrant it, we also suspend publisher accounts to prevent repeated abuse."

Rasenberger says the publishers posting these books benefit from increasingly more sophisticated AI tools that can generate low-quality "scam" books quickly. "By the time Amazon finds out about them, they've already made some money and they move on to something else," she says.

Last year, she wrote a blog post outlining her experience with books about publishing that purported to be by her but that she didn't write. "Even the most beginning reader would read it and say, 'This person is not going to give me any helpful information,'" she says. Friedman says that she makes most of her money through paid newsletters and classes she offers and that the books could be seen by potential customers. "And then off they go to find some other better resource."
