The Kindle Storyteller Award 2018 is a literary prize recognising outstanding writing. It was open to writers publishing in English in any genre, who published their work through Kindle Direct Publishing before 31 August 2018. Readers play a significant role in selecting the winner, helped by a panel of judges including TV celebrity Lorraine Kelly and various book industry experts.

The Kindle Storyteller 2018 writing contest is open for entries between 1st May, 2018 and 31st August, 2018. Books must be written in English, previously unpublished and be available as an eBook and in print via Kindle Direct Publishing or CreateSpace (print edition only). The winning author will receive a £20,000 cash prize and be recognised at a central London award ceremony.

Independent publishing gives authors more choices than they’ve ever had in deciding how to bring their writing to readers.
The availability of independent publishing options has resulted in a more diverse set of voices telling their stories, on print or digital, and then making those stories available to more readers than ever before.
