It grows ever more the impression of Amazon on publishing, as evidenced by the ancio Kindle Scout in Europe .
The program was launched last October in the United States and it was gradually extended to other territories including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Japan and India among others. As you already know, Kindle Scout is the crowd-sourcing platform that Amazon allows authors to submit their manuscripts for publication and be evaluated in 45 days or less .
If you exceed the test, your book will be published by Amazon called Kindle Digital Press. To be judged by Amazon must first be “candidates”: readers can nominate up to three books at a time, and the books over a period of time shall be more nominees pass the final exam.
Contracts to authors include the renewal of five years, a payment of $ 1.500, 50% royalty and – especially to be reckoned with – a nudge by Amazon regarding marketing.
The general manager of Kindle Scout Dina Hilal said: “Expanding our platform to authors and readers outside the US was one of the major demands since we left. With today’s announcement, we are looking forward to receiving the new great stories of writers from around the world. “
Through the Kindle Scout program were published at the time 75 titles under the Kindle brand Press . Despite last December I’ve shown half-hearted initiative, I must admit that gradually Kindle Scout is able to change my mind. Hope it lasts!
