In the 1990's I was working for Unicorn Stock Photos, a photographic agency and Rodale Press used several of my pictures in books like Backyard Fruits and Berries: Everything You Need to Know About Planting and Growing Fruits and Berries in Your Own Backyard and magazines like Backpacker Magazine. Much more recently as I developed my expertise in publishing and media promotion for book, I approached Rodale Press to see if they wanted me to help set up their authors' Amazon author's page. They told me they are trying to get around to it and would keep me in mind. Most of the books I see put out by Rodale Press and other "big" publishers don't have Amazon author's pages set up for their authors. This means that authors have to do it themselves if they want it done.
What I think, Rodale and other publishers don't realize is that if every author in their line or catalog had an author's page that would multiple the number of Amazon pages where their publishing company is featured by thousands of pages. That is very valuable real estate. A smart author wants to be associated with their publisher and will list who published their books in their author's bio as well as in blogs etc.
Here is a book where I had a photograph published and this book is now on my Amazon author's page, along with the publisher's information.
