Michelle Kidd<br />

Interview questions - Sheena Macleod<br />

December 2016<br />

You recently won a Kindle Scout campaign<br />

for Timeless Moments. Congratulations.<br />

What does this mean for<br />

you?<br />

Thank you! It still seems a bit surreal. It is a wonderful<br />

opportunity. Because I home-school my<br />

two sons, I am limited with the time I have to<br />

write and market. I’m new to this world of publishing.<br />

Kindle Scout pushed me to get out of my<br />

comfort zone. The KS program was a crash<br />

course in many of the things necessary to promote<br />

my work and have it seen by readers and<br />

potential buyers. It has been an exciting time.<br />

I’ve learned much and am grateful for the opportunity.<br />

What made you decide to submit<br />

Timeless Moments for Kindle<br />

Scout?<br />

Good question. There are so many opportunities<br />

for authors today. It isn’t always easy to find the<br />

path that’s a good fit for the writer and their<br />

book. Since TM was my first book, I didn’t feel a<br />

traditional publisher would take a serious look at<br />

my manuscript. I wasn’t comfortable going the<br />

indie route alone. When I learned of Kindle<br />

Scout, it seemed like the middle of the road. On<br />

my own, I doubt I would have had the courage to<br />

plunge ahead, but I loved my characters so<br />

much. I wanted readers to have the opportunity<br />

to meet them. Kindle Scout gave me the exposure<br />

to get my book out there and into the hands<br />

of the public.<br />
