Edie Bryant, Hayden Hunt, and How to Turn One Novel Into Two By Changing the Pronouns - The Digital Reader

Panzer made a quick trip to The Digital Reader site today. With very little digging he found a post about a new way to get away with breaking the rules on Amazon.

They're getting away with it.

According to the post by The Digital Reader site owner Nate Hoffelder, there's a new way to ignore Amazon's rules. The ploy involves using the same novel in the romance genre under two sub-genres. To do this all the author needs to do is publish the novel in one sub-genre with the main characters named as females and then in the second sub-genre change the main characters names to male. As the post title says, the author must also change all the pronouns to match the main characters' either male or female names. There are three side by side examples of how this was done by Edie Bryant and Hayden Hunt. (Obviously, pen names for the same person.) According to Amazon's rules, it's illegal for authors to use PLR material. (Taking the same material, making a few changes and publishing it under your name as an original work.)

Panzer says, "Humans can find more ways to scam on Amazon than a cat takes naps."
