Not so much apparently. I received notification this morning that KindleScout decided not to publish the book. <br /><br />I've been a professional novelist for twenty-three years and have won multiple awards. A nonfiction book published by Warner Books (now Grand Central) was a bestseller. Even if my grousing sounds like sour grapes, ask yourself what the chances were that the book I submitted to the campaign actually sucked. Now ask yourself why KindleScout goes to such elaborate lengths to pretend as though they publish books based on votes. <br /><br />KindleScout is not reader-powered publishing. That much is fact. WHY they aren't what they say they are is opinion. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06142245232978996809noreply@blogger.com
