A self-published author cannot have too many marketing arrows in his/her quiver. One of the most visible is an indicia on the cover, announcing that book as an award winner. From that springs the opportunity for press releases, quotes — anything that will lead to more sales of your book. For that reason, the BAIPA board of directors is re-instating the book award contest.
Here are the rules for submitting your book:
- Books published between January 1, 2017, and June 30, 2018, are eligible.

- You may join BAIPA and then submit your books for the contest. If you are not yet a member, please go to our membership page.

- Three copies of each book entered.
- A fee of $50 per book submitted.
