British model Lily Cole has been announced as the judge for Amazon's new English Language Literary Prize, The Kindle Storyteller Award.

From today (February 20), authors can upload their book via Kindle Direct Publishing and be in with a chance of winning the Kindle Storyteller Award, where the winner will receive a £20,000 cash prize and a marketing campaign to support their book on amazon.co.uk. Cole commented 'I am delighted to be on the judging panel for the Kindle Storyteller Award. The more we recognise and support excellent authors, the more likely we are to get people reading. I love good writing, from fiction to autobiographies, so I can't wait to see what makes it through to the shortlist'.
