Book Awards … add to your professional credibility and are an excellent marketing tool. oscar_book-trophyThey can be used as part of your branding, on your business cards, on your website, on your individual book pages on the website, within your email signatures. Think book. Think visual. Think marketing. Think how this one item can nudge you a bit and beyond many other authors in the mix.

Here’s what’s open right now and merit you and your book’s attention–what’s open and should get your attention, the deadline date and the website to go to and submit your book.
