1. I've never heard of this before.

I'm not currently writing a book, but I'll nominate yours!

2. How do people get such professional looking covers?

3. there are lots of good cover designers out there

you buy permission to use an image from a place like novelstock.com and then send it to a good designer. Kim Killion (hot damn designs) is good. I use Talina Perkins of bookinit designs. The whole process costs about $200 for a front cover and add another $60 or so to get the back cover.

8. I should have mentioned

They accepted my book for publication. It's a romance. The advance is $1,500 with 50% net royalties. I don't know why in heck Amazon should be "net." They're the seller. We'll see how it goes. No options clause, btw. E-book, audio, and translations rights only. You keep print rights.

And pay attention. If you submit the book, you've already agreed to the terms of their contract. It looks like a good contract, except for the "net" part.

12. Damn, I just learned Kindle Scout accepts more than one nomination for a book.

Sorry, I would have nominated you, but I saw you were already nominated. I didn't understand how it works.

And now I see you're published! Congrats. I'll have to get your book.
