My Amazon KDP Termination Timeline:

* Months 1-2: Multiple legal submissions, cover redesigns, countless rejections
* Day 60+: Account REINSTATED
For Authors Facing KDP Termination: This episode covers Amazon KDP account suspension, Amazon seller account termination, KDP publishing violations, metadata violations, cover similarity issues, and the appeal process that most authors don’t know exists.
For Midlife Reinvention Audience: Beyond the Amazon story, this is about resilience after 50, self-advocacy in midlife, fighting back against dismissive systems, and proving it’s never too late to stand up for yourself.
