Action & Adventure, Contemporary Fiction, and Historical Fiction will be accepted within the Literature & Fiction category. Any adult with a valid U.S. bank account and a U.S. social security number or tax identification number is eligible. Checkout the Kindle Scout Eligibility & Content Guidelines.
Under the agreement, you grant us a 45-day exclusivity period to consider your work for publication. That is just long enough to allow for Amazon to review your submission and the 30-day nomination period for your book's campaign. At the end of your campaign they will let you know whether your book has been selected for publication by Kindle Press. If your book is selected for publication, Amazon will have the exclusive, worldwide rights to publish your book in digital and audio formats in all languages for a 5-year renewable term. Otherwise, you automatically get all your rights back at the end of the 45-day exclusivity period. Please be sure to read the Kindle Press Submission & Publishing Agreement in full before you submit your work to Kindle Scout.
Synopsis of Agreement

If you do not earn at least $25,000 during any 5-year term, you'll have six months after the end of that 5-year period in which you can choose to stop publishing with us and request your rights back.

An opportunity to get paid for your writing. They're looking for never-before-published books of about 50,000 words or more. If selected, you will be entitled to a $1,500 advance and royalties on net revenues at a rate of 50% for eBooks, 25% for audio editions and 20% for translations.
