AmazonConnect/Author Central FAQs

I want to update my blog. What do I do? Visit Author Central and sign in with the same user name and password you use for AmazonConnect. Once there you can update your bibliography, add a bio and photo for your Author Page, and update your blog and/or RSS feed information.

Where does my blog content go? I don't see the blog on my book's detail page(s) anymore. Author-generated blog content will now be featured on each author's Amazon Author Page. This is a new destination where customers will be able to view a list of all versions of your books, view a bio and image (if you are kind enough to share one with us), and read your blog. Having your blog on your Author Page makes it easier for customers to discover and it makes it easy for you to share with your fans the location of your latest posts.
