Congratulations go to Amanda Hocking who has just become the 14th writer to sell a million copies for the Kindle - Amanda Hocking, self-published, prolific author of young adult
paranormal novels, recently became the 14th writer to join the "Kindle
Million Club," having sold over 1 million copies of her e-books in the
Amazon.com Kindle Store.
Hocking is seen as a trailblazer and inspiration for struggling
writers unable to acquire book deals with traditional publishing
companies.After Hocking sold hundreds of thousands of copies of her
self-published e-books, the same New York publishing companies that had
originally rejected her joined in a "heated auction" to purchase her
next series, which eventually sold to St. Martin's last March for over
$2 million.
"I want to be a writer. I do not want to spend 40 hours a
week handling e-mails, formatting covers, finding editors, etc. Right
now, being me is a full-time occupation." Amanda Hocking
