Plan lapses and delisting a book

If your plan lapses

If you don't renew your plan, your already-published books stay live and keep selling, they aren't pulled down. What changes is that royalties from sales made while the plan is lapsed are held rather than paid out.

Renewing releases what was held

Once you renew your plan, the royalties that had been held during the lapse become part of your payable balance again. Nothing is lost while a plan is lapsed, it's simply paused until you're back on an active plan.

Removing a book yourself

Separately from any plan status, you can self-delist any of your own books from your dashboard at any time, whether that book is currently published or still unpublished. This is entirely your choice and takes effect immediately, it isn't tied to your plan lapsing or renewing.

Changed your mind? Use Relist on the book in your Books list. It comes back as a draft, uses one of your listing slots again, and goes through review before it is back on sale. Books removed by our team can't be relisted this way; contact support.

Why this matters when choosing a plan

Because a lapse doesn't pull your books down, there's no risk of losing your catalog's visibility just because you were late renewing. See the choosing a plan guide if you're deciding which tier to commit to.
