The GMB Smart Shelf is live. Put your book where readers actually are. Online, your book is one result in a list of millions. On a GetMyBook Smart Shelf it’s in front of someone with a coffee and ten minutes to spare — in a cafe, a clinic, a local business near them. We're opening 7 author spots in this first round — books welcome from anywhere in the world (we print and fulfil locally), with UK and USA distributor expansion next.

The login screen looked normal. I typed in my details, hit enter, and got a message telling me my Amazon account had been closed. Not suspended pending review. Not flagged for unusual activity.

Just a closed account — and behind it, my entire publishing dashboard, my sales history, my KDP account, everything, sitting somewhere I couldn't reach. I sat there for a moment trying to decide if I'd misread it. I hadn't.
