Kindle Worlds Nabs “Official Fan Fiction” Rights to Veronica Mars, G.I. Joe and More Valiant Comics

Amazon’s Kindle Worlds program, which allows fans to write “officially licensed” fan fiction stories and share the revenue between the author, the publisher and Amazon when it’s sold on the retailer’s popular Kindle eReader devices, has expanded its offerings to include a number of new properties today, including Quantum & Woody and The Eternal Warrior from Valiant Entertainment.Warner Bros. has also handed off the rights to Veronica Mars and Ravenswood, a particularly interesting choice for Veronica Mars because series creator Rob Thomas is starting a series of new novels based on the character in March.”Our Kindle Worlds collaboration with Amazon Publishing has been tremendously successful since its introduction last year,” said Leslie Morgenstein, President of Alloy Entertainment. “Adding Ravenswood and Veronica Mars to the platform is a great way for us to gain deeper engagement with fans as they explore their own creative story adaptations.”
