Kindle Scout Campaign- Part Three

So, here I am trying to figure out what makes a Kindle Scout nominee a winner. I'm pleased to say that my novel, Bitter Envy, has spent most of its time in hot & trending, which is the top 20 books by either page views, nominations, or some combination. That doesn't seem to make as much difference as I originally thought. Case in point, the latest book to receive a contract-- the poor author was sure that he wouldn't win a contract since his book wasn't in hot & trending after 24...

Kindle Scout Campaign - Week 2

My YA urban fantasy romance, Bitter Envy, is on Kindle Scout! Haven't heard yet? Then I'm not promoting hard enough. I feel like I've crossed that line between promotion and annoyance... but I figure people can just ignore my post if they see it more than once. I read recently that a person has to be exposed to something up to seven times before they act. If I'm exposed to something that many times, I just get annoyed :)

I'm happy to report that Bitter Envy has been in hot & trending...
