How to Become an Award-Winning Author

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

If you’ve published a book with Outskirts Press this year, you just may have an award-winning book on your hands, and we want to ensure you get the recognition you deserve!

Tomorrow is the last day to let us enter your book into the prestigious Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards, where your book could be highlighted in one of 60 categories, catching the attention of librarians, booksellers, industry professionals, and book lovers.

If your book’s copyright date is this year, all you have to do is click here.

If it’s not, keep reading below (it may still be eligible).

Don’t wait! The deadline is Thursday, December 14^th!

Outskirts Press will submit your book to the Foreword INDIES Book Awards for your convenience, and we will ensure it is correctly submitted according to all competition requirements, on time, and in the most appropriate categories for the best shot at a win. We will also print and mail all the judges’ copies to the judges for you, so you don’t have to deplete your personal inventory of books.

A $1,500 cash prize will be awarded by Foreword INDIES Book Awards to the Best Fiction and Best Non-Fiction winners. All Finalists will receive:

A Foreword INDIES marketing toolkit with everything you need to personalize your publicity blitz.
Press releases linking finalists and winners will be sent to Foreword Reviews’ 10,000+ media and industry professionals list.
Announcements of finalists and winners on Foreword Reviews’ social media pages and winners featured year-round with individual plugs.
Listing on indiefab.forewordreviews.com, with links to order your books through Amazon.com and Indiebound.
Opportunities to participate in specially branded advertising exclusively for Foreword INDIES winners and finalists.

Be sure your book is eligible by checking the copyright date on your book’s copyright page. If your book’s copyright date is this year, you are eligible. If your book’s copyright date is last year, please double check your eligibility with marketing-support@outskirtspress.com. If your book’s copyright date was before last year, it is no longer eligible to enter these awards.
