Amazon Expands Fan Fiction Platform With Kurt Vonnegut License

Amazon Publishing has formed a new licensing partnership with RosettaBooks for the books of Kurt Vonnegut for its fan fiction publishing platform Kindle Worlds.

Amazon launched Kindle Worlds last month. Through the platform, fans can write, publish and sell works of fan fiction based on select books and characters. Amazon already has the licenses for Gossip GirlPretty Little Liars, and Vampire Diaries, as well as for select titles from comic book publisher Valiant Entertainment and authors Hugh Howey, Barry Eisler, Blake Crouch and Neal Stephenson. The Vonnegut license is expected to go live this month, at which point Amazon will begin accepting submissions for works under this license.
