Complete List of Book Awards for Authors, Writers, and Publishers

So, you got your book published or you self-published your book. Finally! Now you can sit back and watch the sales come in and the positive reviews. Wrong. You have to do some serious book marketing and promotion. There are over 300,000 books published every year in the United States alone. Without any promotion, how are people going to know about your novel, biography, memoir, or book? One great way to try and get some buzz and promotion going for your book is to enter it in competitions for book awards. Winning an award for your book can go a long way in terms of positive buzz about your book. It is also an effecitve means of promoting and marketing your book. Below is a comprehensive list of the book competitions you can enter your book in. Best of luck! If I have missed any, I'll add them to the list (pnj @ bauuinstitute.com). Together we can make this a great list for all authors, writers, and publishers.
