Book Blurb Contest Deadline is April 30

April 25, 2022 by John Byrne Barry Leave a Comment

There’s still time to submit your book blurbs for our contest on May 7. We will vote on the entries at the meeting, and winners get a free afternoon workshop in 2022.

The book blurb is the short book description on your online book sales page or on the back of your book, but you can tweak or rewrite your blurb for the contest. Here are the rules:

  1. The contest is open to any book blurb by a current BAIPA member, whether the book published or not. You can submit a blurb for a book you haven’t finished yet or one you wrote ten years ago.
  2. One blurb per author.
  3. Under 200 words. (But under 100 words is even better.)
  4. Send the blurb and genre to [email protected]. (If you include your book cover, we will include it on the slide alongside the blurb.)
  5. Deadline is Sunday, April  30.

We will share slides of the blurbs several days before the meeting as well as at the meeting, and then vote using a Zoom poll. You need not be at the meeting to win, but you can’t vote if you’re not present. Everyone at the meeting will get three votes.

All members and visitors who register in advance will receive a link to attend via Zoom video conferencing. On the Friday evening before the meeting, we will send the link and password out to members and to non-members who … More

Current BAIPA members do not need to register for our monthly meetings. The night before the meetings, they will receive the Zoom info. However, members must log in to get a discounted ticket for workshops.
