A Great Contest for
Your Self-Published Book
|
|
There
are lots of contests for self-published books. You can find them
listed at the Alliance of Independent Authors and
BookBub among other places. Here is
what makes our North Street Book Prize one of the best:
- Large cash prizes: $8,000 for the grand prize,
$1,000 for each category winner.
- Bonus awards: Winners receive additional
services from BookBaby, Carolyn Howard-Johnson, and Winning
Writers to help market their books.
- Free gifts: All contestants receive six
free gifts from our co-sponsors.
- Reasonable entry fee: $70 per book. Many other
contests charge $85, $95, and up.
- No need to enter multiple
categories: Choose one category for your book. If our judges
feel it will do better in another category, they will
reassign it.
- Flexible criteria: Submit books published in any
year, on any self-publishing platform.
- Pro-author attitude: Submit a non-qualifying book by
mistake? A duplicate entry? We'll refund your fee. We issued
over 100 refunds in 2021.
- Transparent: We have five judges. Read about
them on our guidelines page.
- Lasting, in-depth publicity: With some contests, it's hard
to find out much about past winners beyond the author's name
and the book title. At North Street, we publicize our winners
through our website (280,000+ visitors in 2020), in our
newsletter (50,000+ subscribers), and in our social media
channels (including 135,000+ Twitter followers). Our contest archives feature
critiques of the winning entries, excerpts from the books,
and bios of the winners going back to the first contest in
2015.
- No nickel-and-diming: Some contests charge winners
for things like award seals. We provide those for free.
- Recommended by industry leaders: The North Street Book Prize is
recommended by Reedsy and the Alliance of Independent Authors.
Winning Writers itself is one of the "101 Best Websites
for Writers" (Writer's Digest, 2022).
