” Paradox “ is the title of Phillip P. Peterson, the winners of the Amazon ausgelobten Kindle Storyteller Awards for Self Publisher, which was awarded this year for the first time. In addition to 30,000 euros in prize money, the author has therefore both an audiobook publishing at Audible as well as a publishing contract with Bastei Lübbe has been saved.
Paradox felt by many booksellers now also Bastion Luebbe push to want to place the title in the stationary bookselling. Bone of contention especially: the printed indication of the Kindle Storyteller Award, which constitutes a direct link to online competitors. Not only with Facebook where Bastion Luebbe approach is therefore kindled a heated debate among booksellers, including is referred to as “brazen”. The close cooperation of the publisher with Amazon was “unbelievable” and a “blow to the independent bookstores,” says explicitly Ravens book – dealer and Buy Local – Chairman Michael Riethmüller . He’ll give the title no place on the already limited space.
Bastei Lübbe-board Klaus Kluge, in charge of sales and marketing, explains the procedure of publishing: They want to make an author to the public and exploit the potential of Self Publishing division. Selbstverlegende authors sold well in bookshops as Hanni Muenzer (1 title at Piper) and BC Schiller (at Bastei Lübbe). One must follow the customer needs and expand the target group. Regardless of the Kindle price Bastei Lübbe will also cooperate in the future with the author Phillip Peterson.
