Hello. Please elaborate, if I am not published yet then I am not eligible?
Hello, I hope this message meets you well. I have a poetry collection published online with Amazon in the year 2020. But how do I send in my entry since it’s on Amazon Kindle? I can only send a link to it on the Kindle Store where 15% of the book can previewed online. But I can’t send in a full digital copy of of the book. Because I have no control over the Amazon Kindle Store, even though I am the author.
HELLO MADAM,
HOPE THIS REPLY FINDS YOU WELL
EACH POETRY COLLECTION IS SUPPOSED TO BE READ AND ASSESSED BY A PANEL OF JUDGES. THEY WILL NEED TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE ENTIRE COLLECTION.
THANK YOU AND ALL THE BEST
