Amazon KDP rolled out a new contest for Kindle Vella where the prize pool is over $62,000. Is it a ploy to bring more authors back? Or, a legitimate way to elevate authors? The Kindlepreneur Dave Chesson announced a HUGE update to the market research tool, Publisher Rocket, that includes a whole new Amazon Ads option and a free course for Amazon Advertising. And, Miblgroup is celebrating their 8th birthday and want you to save a bunch on your next order. All that and more in the self-publishing news.
