About the session
The Kindle Storyteller Award is a £20,000 literary prize recognising outstanding writing from self-published authors. It is open to writers publishing in English in any genre, who publish their work through Kindle Direct Publishing during the submission period. Celebrating its 10th anniversary of the UK Award, the winner is selected by readers and a panel of book industry expert judges.
Entries are open until 31st August 2026, so don’t miss out on this session with Jen Barrett, UK Kindle Direct Publishing Manager at Amazon. She’ll cover everything you need to know about entering, including eligibility, how to enter, prizes, and top tips. There will be time for Q&A so come with questions.
