Kindle Worlds
Defunct publisher service
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kindle Worlds was a publisher service of the online retailer Amazon, devoted to providing a commercial venue for fan fiction creations of specific licensed media properties. It was established on May 22, 2013, as part of Amazon Publishing.[1] In August 2018, Amazon shut down the Kindle Worlds website.[2]
The purpose of this service was to publish fan fiction stories of certain licensed media properties to be sold in the Kindle Store with terms including 35% of net sales for works of 10,000 words or more and 20% for short fiction ranging from 5000 to 10,000 words.[1]
Stories hosted on the service were required to abide by some restrictions, including a ban on pornographic or offensive content and copyright violations. The stories had to be correctly formatted and were prohibited from using misleading titles.[3]
