O.......k....... So that's why no trad publisher would take it. Amazon is looking less enticing. And my agent ain't interested.

Miss Plum, As far as I know, Jessica Park's book was self-published through CreateSpace. She's not an Amazon Publishing or Amazon Children's Publishing author. It's a completely different operation.

Woops, you're right, lachrymal.

Self-pubbling, a whole 'nother discussion.

Does anyone know who the acquisitions editor is for Amazon's Thomas & Mercer imprint? I've been searching around and can't find it.

Thanks,
Theresa

I believe Alison Dasho will be an acquisitions editor for Thomas & Mercer starting in April, because she left my pub house to go there

Does anyone have experience with the Kindle serial program? Would that be separate from Montlake if I have a romance serial?

Thanks.
My email just came back. Apparently I have the wrong email address.

Red face AmazonEncore

I'm unable to find anything published by the "flagship imprint," AmazonEncore, in recent years. The last book appears to have come out in 2011. Does anyone have any insight into what's going on there?
