Question re commercialization of site

I understand the policy against commercialization. I’m wondering if the following violates it. I’ve written a book: ‘Will I See My Grandmother Naked in Heaven?’ If I list this in my profile, does it violate the policy? Also, if it is allowed, could I post an Amazon link to it?
I think the book would be of interest to at least two of the listed groups: ‘Just for Laughs’ and ‘Authors, Editors, Publishers and readers’, and maybe a couple more groups.
Last question: The Site says to contact it if something is for sale. (I see it sells t-shirts.) Do you think it would be open to listing the book?
I’ve attached a revised query letter and the table of contents to give you an idea of the book.

Thanks for your help. I’m already listed as ‘low level’ I’m asking these questions in an attempt to avoid being also listed as low-life.
Best regards,
Tom Weaver

What would you expect when an octogenarian reviews the biblical stories he's read and heard throughout his life? That's not what you'll get from, Will I See My Grandmother Naked in Heaven? With piercing logic and humor (a lot of humor), I examine biblical stories that have been perpetuated for centuries.
The nearly 50,000 words a dozen cartoons (not included) in this completed book will appeal to the few million agnostics and atheist, as well the millions more who are of the Santa Claus faith. (The Santa Claus faithful are those believers who are like children nearing the end of their belief in Santa Claus; they see the logic of no Santa, but force themselves to believe because they want the presents.)
The author imagines the conversation of the Three Wise Men as they meet in the desert: ''Hello fellow wiser-than-most..." Also considered, is the awkward family table in Heaven with Jesus and His two daddies. Noah and The Ark provides an entertaining dialogue between Noah and his wife when she is in the smelly dark ark. It also focuses on the necessity of incest to repopulate the earth. The irony of 'Thou Shall Not Kill' and drowning every man, woman and child on earth except Noah and his family is noted.
I spent a significant part of my youth (a long, long time ago) in church youth groups, camps, etc. As an adult, I have written hundreds of freelance gags for numerous cartoonists and produced a fair number of cartoons. My main career was financial analysis. I incorporate analytical thought and humorous writing in this book.

I don't know about in your profile, but I don't think there would be a problem with it in any given thread. I know you'd like it in your profile because it would be there for anyone who went to your profile to see, but that is also the reason it may be against the rules regarding commercialism. Any of the writing threads might be fair game.

if i may interject my purely personal and not-at-all-official (since i am just a user here) opinion about what SHOULD be (not saying that's how it is, just how i hope it is): a link to your book, even on amazon, should be okay. affiliate links should not be okay.

If the titles are crude, some people might object..I myself block anyone on this website who is crude, lewd, or rude.

You could select the Site and Customer Service option on your drop-down menu when you post to ask about it.

By the way, this website has a bit of a learning curve, so here's some info, in case you need it.

For members who are open to dating, certain thumbnails and profiles have a heart symbol on them with a percentage. This identifies which members are open to dating, and the percent shows approximately how compatible others are with them.

You gain website points by answering all the profile questions and writing a bio, which also earns website points, and helps other members get to know you.

Commenting on posts and writing your own posts earns more points. At level two you can private message people, and at level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.

If you want to date, the website uses profile algorithms to find member matches, so the more details one includes, the better the match.

Many people prefer to see a written profile talking about interests, hobbies, and backgrounds that can be quickly perused to find others with similar interests..

In case you didn't know yet, to find members near you, click on the "Browse" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Click on the "Discuss" button, then "Nearby" to find members near you also.
Or click on the "About" button at the top left of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.
Points are now being given to level 3+ members who chat. You can see chat rooms on the group main page or at [agnostic.com].

You can include a link to this post in your posts and comments by including the text q:177419
