Amazon storyteller contest and The Brightest Stars
- In favour 54
- Opposed 2
Okay, y'all, I need some feedback real quick.
Amazon is currently doing a contest in which writers can submit books and have them judged, with a big prize for the one that gets first place. (And some minor prizes for the ones that get shortlisted.) I was thinking of submitting The Brightest Stars to the contest.
The problem here being: while the contest is running, I need to give Amazon the exclusive for the ebook version of whatever I submit, which means I cannot distribute the ebook in any way through other channels. Which, in turn, means I would need to take The Brightest Stars, both the rough draft and the final form, down from Patreon. It would be a temporary thing, only while the contest is running, but during that period, y'all wouldn't have any access to the story except by buying an Amazon copy. And that, well, is kinda not what I promised when I set up this Patreon.
So I'm asking y'all:
Would you be in favour or opposed to me temporarily (i.e. for a few months) taking down The Brightest Stars from here in order to enter it in a literary contest?
