Amazon Publishing Launches New imprint - Publishers Weekly

Panzer's trip into the Catosphere today took him to the Publishers Weekly site. With a little digging in the posts there our industrious kitty boy found a post about Amazon's newest publishing imprint.

According to the post by Jim Maher, Amazon has started a new publishing imprint. The Amazon Original Stories imprint will publish short stories, essays and reporting pieces. The material will be between 5,000 and 20,000 words, so "it can be read in a single sitting." The post lists the announced authors scheduled for publication in 2017 and 2018. However, the post doesn't list any submission guidelines or even if Amazon is open to submissions for the new imprint.
It's a simple question.

Panzer says, "This little kitty wants to know exactly what is Amazon's definition of reporting pieces?"

Note: This is a shortish-medium post. Bring a cup of tea and muffin for today's reading selection.
