Amazon storyteller contest to close today
In a move to build their roster of books, Amazon is challenging authors to publish their manuscripts in order to win £20,000.
Contestants are required to publish their writing by today, August 31, 2019, via Kindle Direct Publishing, as both an ebook and a print book. Entrants are also required to enroll in ‘KDP Select,’ which requires the book to be exclusively available from Amazon for 90 days. Amazon makes it very easy to publish both versions, including cover design, layout, etc.
The entry does not need to be a full-length manuscript. It must be at least 24 pages for the print edition.
Judging will happen in stages, with the first round being determined by reader reviews, as well as expert judges. The final winner will be determined by a panel of judges, which have not yet been announced. Writers from all over the world are eligible for the contest.
Amazon is an American multinational technology company based in Seattle, Washington, that focuses on e-commerce, cloud computing, digital streaming, and artificial intelligence. It is considered one of the Big Four technology companies along with Google, Apple, and Facebook.
