SEATTLE &
NEW YORK — June 16, 2012—Amazon.com customers around the world cast their votes and this evening, Amazon.com, Penguin Group (USA) and
CreateSpace announced the winners
of this year's Amazon Breakthrough
Novel Award (ABNA) at a special ceremony held at The Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle.
There are mid - and small - size publishers, presses
of many stripes and kinds, services
of real depth and, growing fast among them, Amazon Publishing, has just had its first million - selling author (this is not self - publishing via
CreateSpace or KDP but Amazon Publishing, itself, which also is cultivating
new work through its Breakthrough
Novel Award).
