    List of Suspected Piracy

    If I knew the OG authors and works, sure, but then again, there is like 50 AI copies uploaded to amazon every day and it is almost impossible to track down OG works unless you knew them beforehand. I have notified a few dozen authors privately and helped them take their stuff down, but alone...

    What is the biggest mistake a new writer can make?

    not writing. 'knowing' that your writing is good. Editing until it's perfect, let's be honest, it never is. Not taking advice from others/Taking adivce from other (always be careful of what other people tell you. It isn't necessarily right, even if they word it fancy)

    He's right. No need to buy that shit. Often you can just look at the chapters list and confirm based on that.

    Not entirely wrong. You get V-Bucks per pages read. Not by a single user, but all of them. I think on KU they give something like xyz US Dollar for 1000 pages read.

    Yeah, its dumb how they just casually steal other people's work. What miserable people that must be, but hey, we can shit in their meal by getting them DMCA'ed so that's fun. Even though they most likely won't care too much.

    The og author of the first one seems to have been inactive for over a year, so I don't think contacting them will do anything. I do not have an account for the fore lore one, if possible can you write the author?

    A link to my story on Royal Road and told them that I was the Original Author. They said it would 1-2 days to check and later that day I got email that it got removed.

    Not the same, no. Need to wait and see how things go. Nothing too troublesome I think

    No prob. If amazon received the report, it should take about 8h-ish to get a response. Maybe more

    My story got stolen... and its kinda dumb.

    Well, not recently, but back then I did and "Finding Yourself" and similar names popped up. Since the pirated thing was named "Finding Oneself", I would at least give it a shot.

    Below the synopsis, page count and language etc, there will be this: Report incorrect product information. Click on that. Then a window opens where it asks for details, pick: This product or content is illegal, unsafe or suspicious. Then it asks for the issue, pick: It uses my intellectual...

    List of Suspected Piracy

    Today, I found my own story for sale on amazon, even though I did not put it there. I managed to take it down, but found many other 'suspicious' novels that shared very similar covers to the rip-off version of mine. They all are priced around 2,80 €, most of them at 2,84. The contents are always...

    just throw your novel synopsis into chatgpt and ask for a name based on it, then take the names over to amazon. Might also work

    My story got stolen... and its kinda dumb.

    I just searched for LitRPG's and I knew about the piracy cases beforehand, when I saw it, I instantly thought that might be mine and I was right. Honestly, it was just luck. You might be onto something... Apparently they do... Amazon still hasn't responded, but this makes me hopeful that it...
