Publishing Contests

In May 2008, a member of Book Publishers Northwest asked "Which contests make sense to enter? How much should I spend on contest entries? Are some contests more valuable than others to a publisher? Should we hold a contest?"

We sent these questions out to the PMA Affiliates group and received the following thoughtful responses. If you've had experiences good or bad with a publishing contest, let us know. E-mail your comments to bpnwnews@aol.com.

Articles in Independent

I’ve been following with interest your awards discussion and applaud your excellent contributions! May I also point you toward two excellent and recent articles in the Independent about this very topic: The Rewards of Awards, Part 1: Submissions and Scams and How to Turn Even a Minor Award into Major Sales. Articles are in the January 2008 and February 2008 issues.

Best,
Florrie Kichler, President, PMA, the Independent Book Publishers Association
