I am a African American author who published my very first children’s book on Amazon through their KDP program which allows authors to self-publish their books. They have a option to allow distributors to sell copies of the book, in which I do not have the option checked off. My book is now being sold for a ridiculously high price by this company and without my permission. When I contacted them to resolve the issue because obviously a mistake was made and they were not informed by Amazon I do not allow distribution at this time, they were very rude. They stated they would not talk to me about anything, and to speak with my publisher. I am the publisher of my book. I told them I will take legal action if necessary and I mean it. It says a lot about the company’s morals and values, because if a author contacted me and told me that they do not want their book distributed by third party’s I would have respected their wishes, after all it is their book and their hard work and money they put into it. What makes things worse is this was my first book, and I feel it has just been taken away from me. The experience has been completely stolen away.
