Linking SLP Books to personal KDP author pages?

[MAC161]

(Didn't know if this should be posted here, or elsewhere):

For those of us who've both published on this site and self-published on KDP, is it possible/permissible to add the SLP-published stories to our personal KDP bookshelves, in order to help promote these titles?

You can ask Amazon to link your SLP published books to your self-published author profile. However, I don't think you can add them to your KDP bookshelf because that gives you pricing control etc.
As an aside, if you are on Draft2Digital, they do not let you combine author profiles. I had a self-published title on there, but when I contacted support they were very unhelpful and refused to consider any sort of link between the author profile pages.

You can claim the books you wrote, or contributed to, through your amazon author central account; it normally links them together. Sometimes, it works automatically if the name is the same, but not always.

I remember one time that one of the Amazon Ads (I believe US) let me do ads for books I didn't selfpub

Yes, that’s a feature that’s been added for a while. I think it can be done in most English-speaking markets at least, though I’ve not tried it myself yet.
