2014. Amazon launches reader-powered publishing program Kindle Scout
Amazon officially launched Kindle Scout - the “reader-powered” (crowdsourcing) publishing initiative. Kindle Scout will be guided by readers’ feedback and result in book deals for selected authors. Amazon’s letter to authors today outlined the terms. Chosen books will be published by Kindle Press and receive 5-year renewable agreements, a $1,500 advance, a 50% eBook royalty rate, straightforward rights reversions and prominent Amazon marketing. We will be inviting readers to join and nominate books in a few weeks. The Kindle Scout homepage currently highlights a call for English-language books in the Romance, Mystery & Thriller and Science Fiction & Fantasy genres.
