Account Risk Assessment

For authors publishing through Amazon KDP, with a supplementary checklist for IngramSpark and Draft2Digital.

Find the warning signs that could put your accounts, books or income at risk, and secure the records you would need if you lost access to a publishing account.

A self-assessment you work through about your own accounts: account access and identity, rights, rule breaches, blocks and termination, records and backups. The 24 checks and 12 practical actions are built around Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). A separate checklist, not part of the score, covers the records, settings and account obligations to keep in order if you also publish through IngramSpark or Draft2Digital.

Answer the checks, score the result out of 48, and follow the practical actions to reduce the risk before a problem happens.

This is a prevention and continuity resource. It is not personalised, it is not reviewed by us, and it is not legal advice. It cannot prevent or reverse a decision by Amazon, IngramSpark or Draft2Digital about an account or a book, and working through it does not certify compliance with any platform's policy. If your account has already been restricted or terminated, follow the instructions in the platform's own notice.
