After my book went on sale on Kitapyurdu, I asked about adding a biography and photo to my author profile. In my first email, I asked which information and file format they needed. When I did not hear back for a while, I sent my biography and photo ready for their review. My author page was then updated.

This small experience reminded me that a request without a response has not necessarily been rejected. Sometimes it helps to ask again politely and provide the information needed to move things forward.

“Sometimes standing up for yourself means asking again at the right time.”

This anecdote recounts a personal experience; it does not generalize about the procedures or response times of other organizations.
