How do I de-list or remove my book?

You have a few options here depending on your goal:

• Permanent removal
• Temporary removal (recommended for KU authors)
• Stop showing to BookSirens readers only

Permanently Remove Book

If you want to permanently remove your book from our servers and get that peace of mind, follow the steps below:

If your book was live on BookSirens at any point:

1. Go to your books.
2. Click Edit under the book you want to remove.
3. Click the Readers tab.
4. Update the Status of your ARC to Stop. 
5. Click Update.

1. Go to your books.
2. Click Edit under the book you want to remove.
3. Scroll down and click Delete.

Note that this cannot be undone and this will remove all your book files from our servers.

Temporarily Take Down Book

This is a good option if you want to temporarily take down your book (ex. KU term is starting, to fix some typos, improve the cover or blurb) and resume the listing at a later time. It is also a good option if you don't want any more readers but want to give your existing readers the ability to download your book again (ex. if they cannot locate the original download for some reason). Some authors also choose this option when they enroll in Kindle Unlimited and resume their listing after the Kindle Unlimited period ends. If you are considering this due to KU, read how we handle books in Kindle Unlimited first.

To temporarily take down your book for everyone, follow the steps below:

1. Go to your books.
2. Click Edit under the book you want to update.
3. Click the Readers tab.
4. Update the Status of your ARC to Pause. 
5. Click Update.

If you were promoting your book to the BookSirens community, follow the additional step below:

1. Click the Invite tab.
2. Update the Status of your ARC to Pause. 
3. Click Update.

Stop Showing to BookSirens Readers ONLY

This is a good option if you want to stop showing your book to BookSirens readers but still want the ability to invite readers on your own (i.e. your existing ARC team, through your own outreach). More BookSirens readers will not be able to download your book, but readers you invite via your invite link will be able to. Readers who have already downloaded your book will still be able to download it again (ex. if they cannot locate the original download for some reason).

To take down your book for BookSirens readers only, follow the steps below:

1. Go to your books.
2. Click Edit under the book you want to update.
3. Click the Readers tab.
4. Update the Status of your ARC to Pause. 
5. Click Update.
