It’s been over a year since I released Pearl’s Party…and you’re invited. How can I find the keywords I gave Amazon way back then? When I queried Amazon they seemed to equate keywords with categories my book is listed in, which is limited to just two: divorce and family relationships, I think. There are SO many other categories that apply, who can say if these are the right two? Those can only be changed by requesting Amazon change them. Hence, I am somewhat confused by what Amy is suggesting.

Wayne, that sounds SO frustrating! If I had that problem, I’d try to get someone at Amazon on the phone to help. You might want to post your question in the Build Book Buzz Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/BuildBookBuzz/.

I’ve had an issue with Amazon since the time my book “The Fruits of Graft – Great Depressions Then and Now” was published several years ago. My book is history of the U. S., economics, financial fraud on Wall Street and at the Federal Reserve, regulatory capture, and – most importantly – the specific actions taken to impose the Great Depression on America and the world.

From the outset, Amazon has categorized my book as related to fruit trees and mental depression. I’ve inquired repeatedly about how this might be corrected, all to no avail. No discussion yet with a live person. Has anyone had a different experience that might guide me in correcting the problem? Thank you again for your many contributions to authors.
