opens the Amazon Kindle publishing platform car Scout to new countries, and among them there are all those in Europe. The reference is the English (you can still offer content in Italian, for example) but now also international users can vote and participate in the selection of manuscripts .
Kindle Scout is active from October 2014 in the United States. It is a program for self-publishing ebook , where users choose which content to reward and where Excluding the editor . It works this way: you send your manuscript to Amazon, you can free download a few pages for 30 days, expect the final grades and, if the community promoted him, you get the publication of the ebook via Amazon with a contract providing $ 1,500 in advance, 50% of sales, marketing support team via Amazon and facilitated to regain the full rights on the work.
For this writer, Kindle Scout ensures a quick and easy way to publish, the visibility that other platforms can not offer and immediate feedback from users. For the reader, Kindle Scout is a way as any to write reviews, with the taste to receive a copy of the ebook when it is voted one of the manuscripts and published (maximum 3 votes per user) and the feeling of reward a certain author actively participating in its success.
For Amazon eventually becomes the only certainty to publish content valued by users: all 75 ebook approved since the launch have been reviewed by at least 4 stars and a half, and among them one in particular, Eddie and Sunny Stacey Cochran, joined the Top 100 bestseller Kindle.
There are still the critical : Some believe that this mechanism “vote and approval” end to bring the authors to write only what users want to read rather than what they would like to write. There are several discussions and “vlog” network on the issue of contract that results. It would be interesting to see it applied in reality small as ours.
