What are the possible advantages of being listed as a Kindle Single?
I'm out of the running for those on two counts:Kindle Singles Criteria
• Length: 5,000 to 30,000 words
• List price: $0.99 to $4.99
• Original work, not previously published in other formats or publications
• Self-contained work, not chapters excerpted from a longer work
• Not published on any public website in its entirety
• We are currently not accepting how-to manuals, public domain works, reference books, travel guides, or children's books.
I've been thinking about submitting a piece to Kindle Singles. Does anyone know what their typical response time is?
It sounds to me like an avenue for Amazon to act as an agent/publisher for Short Story authors, instead of going the self-published route. Just my initial impression. I've been to busy writing and putting short stories up to really take a hard look at Kindle Singles. Maybe once I start making it into the Smashwords Premium catalog...
That's my impression too, since it seems a person can go ahead and put a short on Kindle anyway, like SeeAlliwrite has done. I'm just trying to figure out why Amazon is doing it.
