Writer Wednesday - Not a writer but a great program to find new writers!

Have you heard of a page called Kindle Scout? It is a great program really. Basically writers can feature their books on there. They give you a synopsis of the story. They tell you about the plot, the characters and the story line in detail. You get a feel for the book. There are lots of books to look through and you can pick three to nominate to be selected to be available to shoppers in the Kindle Store. The page describes the process as follows: "Kindle Scout is reader-powered publishing for new, never-before-published books. It’s a place where readers help decide if a book gets published. Selected books will be published by Kindle Press and receive 5-year renewable terms, a $1,500 advance, 50% eBook royalty rate, easy rights reversions and featured Amazon marketing." (kindlescout.amazon.about)

So if you are like me...you are thinking ok and why do I care....well let me tell you why! You care because if the book you nominate gets selected to be available you get a FREE COPY! So that book that intrigued you can be yours for free just by nominating it. As your selections are pulled after 30 days for nominations they are then reviewed for number of nominations. The winning nominated books are then decided. Then if one you nominated is released you get a free copy! This really works best if there are a lot of people using this program. Great books and great writers get a voice in the market by your nomination. (You really have more direct say than the current elections it seems).

Are you a writer? Are you tired of getting the letter saying, No sorry, not interested in your story but everyone tells you its great! Well worry no more. You now can be a published author! Follow the submission checklist. Submit your book to Kindle Scout. Agree to the publishing agreement and then get ready to launch. Once it launches, share with your friends and family. Have them share. And then also make sure your description of your book is intriguing so that people like me will find it that way too and you too may be a published author with a great publishing deal. Just so you know the process of getting your book on Kindle Scout can take up to 45 days!

So for you readers, this is a great program and really helps aspring writers and readers that love new books and are on a budget! Check it out today. Just go to and start reading TODAY!
