AmazonEncore Adds Three Titles
-- Publishers Weekly, 11/12/2009 7:20:00 AM
Amazon has announced the next three books slated to be published by its AmazonEncore imprint in February: Perfect on Paper: The (Mis) Adventures of Waverly Bryson, After Midnight and They Never Die Quietly. All three titles were originally self-published by Amazon’s BookSurge division. Amazon launched the AmazonEncore program earlier this year to, according to the company, give greater attention to deserving new authors. AmazonEncore’s first book, Legacy by Cayla Kluver, was released in hardcover this August and has sold 1,000 copies to date, according to Nielsen BookScan.
Perfect on Paper was published by first-time novelist Maria Murnane under her Wink’s Ink imprint; A Wish After Midnight is a YA novel originally published by Zetta Elliott’s Rosetta Press imprints; and They Never Die Quietly was published in February by Daniel Annechino under the BookSurge label. In addition to publishing a hardcover, the books will be made available as Kindle e-books. Amazon picks the books to be included in AmazonEncore in part based on feedback from its customers, including reviews on its Web site.
