The Self Publishing Book Cover Contest Top 5 Headlines
Outskirts Press is asking voters to literally judge a book by its cover.
Participants can vote through the month of October on their favorite of six featured book covers. The author of the book that wins will be awarded a free Book Teaser, compliments of Outskirts Press.

This self-publishing Book Cover Contest is hosted by Outskirts
Press
, America’s fastest-growing full-service self-publishing and book marketing company. The six selected nominees for this month’s contest were published last month with either the Pearl or Diamond
package.

View all of the covers in alphabetical order below and vote for your favorite book cover. Voting begins now! Votes will be tracked through the end of the month and the winner will be announced in the first week of November.

 


The winner’s prize, an Outskirts Press Book Teaser video, has been a popular option for authors because it is such a cost effective way to kick start the video promotion of one’s book. Outskirts Press Book Teasers are professionally produced, thirty second videos that feature the book’s title, the author’s byline and photo (if provided), the cover and a specific snippet of licensed music.

These teasers are fast, flashy, high quality videos that authors can
place on today’s most popular video sharing sites – YouTube,
MetaCafe, mySpace, Viddler, etc. – in order to launch their viral
marketing campaigns and increase the sales of their books.

The Book Cover contest punctuates the fact that, per industry statistics, a book has only eight seconds to attract a viewer. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a well crafted book cover is worth ten thousand. The six Outskirts Press books that voters will choose from illustrate the importance of high quality designs that immediately prompt viewers to investigate what is inside the book itself.

Voting takes only seconds and is completely free. To vote, visit http://blog.outskirtspress.com.
