"After launching imprints for lower brow (and frequently, better-selling) genres like fantasy and sci-fi, mysteries and thrillers, and romance, Amazon's Publishing Group is establishing a seventh imprint for literary fiction, called Little A. The publishing group produces and distributes books in both electronic and print formats, the latter through a partnership with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.\nThe first title under the imprint, The Blue Book from UK author A.L. Kennedy, is already on sale. Another, Jake Arnott's The House of Rumor, will be published Tuesday, followed by Jenny Davidson\u2019s The Magic Circle (on sale 3/26), Shawn Vestal's Godforsaken Idaho (4/12), Dan Kennedy's American Spirit (5/28), Allison Lynn's The Exiles and \u2014 perhaps the most anticipated \u2014 Actors Anonymous from actor James Franco (10/15). Senior Editor Ed Park is overseeing their publication as head of the division, according to PaidContent.\n\nSEE ALSO: Amazon Looks To Build Full-Fledged Publishing House\nThe imprint won't focus solely on novels: Little A will also publish the short stories of first-time writers, to be released as Kindle Singles in North America and the UK, Amazon said in a statement.\nThat's ostensibly good news for writers of literary fiction seeking new outlets for their work. But as writer Patrick Wensink recently discovered, even a bestseller on Amazon won't net an author six figures \u2014 or anything even close to that.\nImage courtesy of Flickr, Ian Hamilton"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
