Troubleshooting: KDP Author Central bio editing error.

Troubleshooting: KDP Author Central bio editing error.

​As an author, if you join Amazon Writer Central to do KDP Publishing and write an introduction, you will need to edit it. It would be best if you wrote a perfect bio from the beginning, but if you encounter errors like the ones below every time you need to make changes, I would like to briefly share how to respond.

​Even though I didn't use any violent vocabulary, the above message made editing impossible for a while. In fact, Amazon KDP disclosed the source of the cause of the problem.

What are the Author Bio guidelines?

Amazon Author Central does not support the following content to be added on your author biography:

• Phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses, or website URLs.
• Time-sensitive statements.
• Advertisements or promotional material.
• Availability, price, or alternative ordering/shipping information.
• Profanity or spiteful remarks.
• Obscene or distasteful content.

However, it is difficult to predict that because of this, you will receive the above message and modifications will become impossible. In my case, the underlined problem occurred because I entered my website. Ironically, there was no problem the first time I entered it. When I tried to edit the post containing the website, I saw the above message.

​When editing became impossible due to repeated error messages, I sent an email to KDP to resolve the problem. However, as expected, it is very difficult to receive an immediate resolution response from KDP. I still haven't received it either. If you decide to self-publish, you'll also find that you have to do everything yourself. In this sense, I also share the reasons and solutions whenever I encounter an error. I hope this helps.
