It used to be that simply having a published book was indicative of supremely high quality, but now that self-publishing is available for everyone, winning a book award is one of the most powerful ways you can make your book stand above the crowd.
With so many book awards and contests available, Outskirts Press has pre-screened and vetted 3 contests for our Spring Season of Book Award Submissions, including the USA Book News Best Books Award, the Indie Book Awards, and the Writer’s Digest International Self-Published Book Awards.
Outskirts Press can facilitate the submission details to the USA Book News Best Books Award for you. We can handle all the details, including the entry fee, the completion of the necessary forms, and the required copies of your book. We will select the most appropriate category for your book (from among the choices below) for your convenience.
CLICK TO ORDER THIS AWARD SUBMISSION SERVICE
