Affiliate Disclosure (FTC Compliance)
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, we disclose the following:
BookBloom is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
What this means for you:
- Some links on this website are affiliate links, meaning we earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them.
- You pay no extra cost when purchasing through our affiliate links — the price is the same whether you use our link or go directly to Amazon.
- Affiliate commissions help us maintain our free tools and create new content for the self-publishing community.
- We only recommend products we genuinely believe are valuable for Amazon KDP authors. Our editorial opinions are not influenced by affiliate relationships.
- You can always choose to search for products directly on Amazon if you prefer not to use our affiliate links.
How to identify affiliate links:
Affiliate links on our site typically direct you to Amazon.com product pages. They may appear in blog posts as book recommendations, resource bundles, or product cards. These links contain tracking parameters that identify BookBloom as the referral source.
Advertising Disclosure
This website may display third-party advertisements provided by advertising networks including Google AdSense and other partners. These advertisements help generate revenue that supports the ongoing development and maintenance of our free tools and educational content.
About the ads you see:
- Third-party ads: Advertisements are served by external advertising networks. We do not directly control the specific ads displayed on our pages.
- Personalized advertising: Ad networks may use cookies and similar technologies to show you ads based on your interests and browsing history. You can manage your ad preferences through your browser settings or the ad network's opt-out tools.
- Editorial independence: The presence of advertisements does not influence our editorial content, tool functionality, or product recommendations. Our content is created independently of our advertising relationships.
- Clearly marked: Advertisements are visually distinct from our editorial content and are labeled as ads where required by advertising network policies.
Ad revenue, together with affiliate commissions and voluntary donations, allows us to keep all of our tools and educational content free for the self-publishing community.
Editorial Policy & Content Standards
At BookBloom, we are committed to providing high-quality, accurate, and helpful content for the self-publishing community. Our editorial process ensures that every piece of content meets our standards:

- Regular updates: We review and update our content regularly to reflect changes in Amazon KDP policies, market conditions, and best practices. Articles include publication and last-updated dates for transparency.
- Expert review: Content is reviewed by team members with hands-on experience in Amazon KDP publishing, book marketing, and self-publishing strategy.
- Corrections policy: If we discover errors in our content, we correct them promptly and note significant corrections where appropriate. Readers can report errors via our contact page.
- Independence: Our editorial decisions are not influenced by affiliate partnerships, advertising relationships, or external sponsors. We recommend products based solely on their merit and value to our audience.
Tool Accuracy & Limitations
BookBloom provides free tools including a compliance checker, BSR calculator, keyword research tool, print cost calculator, KENP calculator, and pen name generator. While we strive for accuracy:
- Estimates, not guarantees: Calculator outputs (sales estimates, royalty calculations, print costs) are approximations based on publicly available data and statistical models. Actual results may vary.
- Compliance guidance: Our compliance checker identifies potential issues based on known Amazon KDP guidelines. It does not guarantee that your content will be accepted or not flagged by Amazon. Always review Amazon's official content guidelines.
- Keyword suggestions: Keyword research results are generated using AI and public data. We do not guarantee search volume accuracy or ranking results.
- Data freshness: Amazon frequently updates its policies, pricing, and algorithms. Our tools may not immediately reflect the latest changes.
Use our tools as one part of your publishing decision-making process, not as your sole source of information.
