Kindlescout
Hi

Got a e-mail from an author (since I'm on her mailing list) this morning asking me to "upvote" her latest book on kindlescout. it's the first time I heard about it, anyone used(meaning upvoted) it before?

Seems the bonus is if the books published you get a free e-copy of the book.

Here, check this:

Quote:

Pitched to authors as a way to "get your book in front of readers looking for the next great story" Kindle Scout is a hybrid publishing program which combines aspects of KDP and Amazon Publishing. Launched under the auspices of a new unit called Kindle Press, Scout enables authors to submit an unpublished manuscript (plus cover and related frontmatter).

Works accepted into the program will be posted for 30 days for readers to rate and review, and the best ones will be offered a contract to be published by Amazon. Curiously, Amazon is still asking for only the ebook and audiobook rights, but not paper. On the plus side, they do offer an advance and an explicit reversion clause.

Authors get the money and publicity, but readers don't go away empty handed. All of the readers who nominate a title which is later published by Kindle Press will receive an early, free copy and be invited to leave reviews.
And this:

Kindle Scout is similar to what Amazon does with the video series pilots for Prime Video.

@panda, do you have a connection with the place mentioned as your location:
"The Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane".

@Lynx-lynx. We have some interesting people on these forums. Shades of Batman and Lovecraft.

I was kind of hoping the contrary. I think even Mobileread is entitled to its own supervillain!

A good night's sleep must be a rarity.

Note that it's not capitalized.
Although nobody's ever seen them in the same place and time, have they?
