I have heard of authors doing this and just cements the fact that self-publishing is the way to go in the first place. Thanks for another great video!

[BlackRobb]

Thanks Julie. Never imagined at situation where I would need to unpublish a book so this helps quite a lot in case the need ever arises.

[beelinebill]

Thought-provoking, having a revised version of your book. I can see that. So thank you for this video Julie, it may come in handy in the future for many of us!

Another topic that I would not have thought about! Thanks!

Hi. I unpublished a book, in order to use a Bawker isbn instead. Now, if I publish it again, does it necessarily need to e Revised edition? I don't want to make changes to it. If this books shows up with 2 different isbn nr, is it an issue?

[camoflage]

Julie, I've been fortunate that I've not had to take down one of my books. On the other hand, several of my author friends have had to do so. I'm saving this video and steering people to it. Thanks for another sterling video, Julie. :)

I consider corrections, series name change (I list my other series in the back), etc as revised. If I'm adding content, new edition.

[RosequistJared]

If I published my paperback with kdp and they gave me a free isbn, can I unpublish it on kdp and then publish it on ingramspark using their free isbn? My goal is to have Ingram instead of kdp produce my paperback, but I still want it to link to my ebook and hardcover on Amazon. Do you think I can do that?

[Drathaar]

Oh yeah, I've got one that's coming down and getting a revised edition. And no, I'm not going to ask Amazon to port the reviews over. That's the whole reason for the revision :)

[thirdeyemeditatio]

Can I unpublish in certain markets and republish in those markets with a new cover and new publisher (myself)? Can I get the reviews transferred (same title, same subtitle and same author)?

[rollypolypress]

So Can you tell me if I simply want to change the subtitle on my book on KDP, do I need to unpublish and publish again with a new ISBN?

[poetryfromtheheart]

Great tips. I did not know that if you made a second edition you could contact amazon so that you could keep your good reviews. That is a great piece of knowledge to have in case I ever make a second edition. And I love your bonus tip about consider avoiding that tip should you have a lot of bad reviews. Thanks for the great info and I hope that you have a wonderful weekend.

Hi, great video.
I published a book on Amazon a couple years ago, I wanted to know if you have any videos on how I can go about deleting it so I can try to pitch it to a publishing house? Would I have to change the title before pitching since it already existed on Amazon and other sites?
Also, how do we delete it from showing on other platforms on the web, like other thrift book online stores or google? Sorry for the long and loaded questions.

[GrowYourHomesteadWithAngie]

How do I remove a book off my author page? I unpublished it and don’t want it showing on author page anymore…..

[sarz]

This is a scenario I'd never considered. Interesting

Elite group? Woot woot!
This may very well be the only elite group I belong to. Thanks!

Hi Julie.. great info as always! Just wondered if you could clarify or had experience of my following issue please.
I have just put a new eBook up for preorder 1st Dec 2022 launch. Today i was setting up my PB version ... and wait for it ... stupidly clicked the publish button instead of save draft! Its now in the 72 hr review process that can't be accessed by any soul on earth. Now the bug bear is that I intended to set this up with a 15th Dec 22 launch for ARC reviews/ promotion etc to kick in. NB. Kdp had orginally advised that my only option was to unpublish and reset it up with new ISBN ... which would cause lots of hassles with file and cover alterations. BUT a kdp team leader has since explained that this is not the case .... IE all i have to do is unpublish the PB title as soon as it goes 'live', and then near to 15th Dec 22 i simply REPUBLISH IT WITH THE SAME ISBN/files without any changes. I asked the team leader if thats 100% true ... and they said 150% true! Talk about stress. Any thoughts /urgent advice please? Thanks in advance! D

I need to unpublish the book on Amazon, due to errors. It has been corrected and republished, but the first one is still showing up on Amazon. It is very confusing. Help!

[kh]

Would this work if we want to submit the book to an agent in order to be traditionally published? Several agents put on the query that they ONLY accept manuscripts that have not been published.

[genehobbs]

Very interesting that there is no industry standard definition. Great info. Thanks!
