Moving forward, working with publishers for my fiction and such, I will never tell publishers not to publish my books anywhere. Amazon, for instance. That would frankly be making sure nobody can find me or stumble upon my work. I'll share the other links and maybe not even mention you can find me on Amazon, etc. I just won't willingly tell my publisher to limit my publication channels. My audiobooks appear as an open podcast, Libro FM, and, well, you can get my books in your library. That will probably be the most I'll promote is the library, but at this stage, I need an audience more than anything else. Lastly, I am under no misguidance that me actually pulling my book from Amazon, etc. Will stop Amazon. It will just prevent readers from reading me.

I will promote libraries and indie bookstores over, well, everything else, though.

@WeirdWriter Julia Serano made a similar point about how writers leaving Substack is writer-centric--what matters is READERS leaving Substack, and a similar logic likely holds true for Amazon.com. https://juliaserano.blogspot.com/2025/06/regarding-substack-and-writer-centric.html
