BOOKLIFE PRIZE 2024 NONFICTION CONTEST DETAILS
The Washington Post praises the prize & highlights its winners! Each Contest has a $5,000 cash grand prize. Plus finalists across the nine categories in both Contests receive $1,000 in social media ad services from our friends at BookBaby. This is in addition to the blurb and Publishers Weekly coverage these finalists have always received.
Remember that every entry in both Contests receives a publishable Critic’s Report by a Publishers Weekly reviewer, which the Washington Post called “something of value.” (Authors control whether their Critic’s Reports are made public.)
The Washington Post regularly announces the winners of the BookLife Prize and even went so far as to offer its own rave review of the winner of the 2023 Fiction Contest, Downpour by Christopher Hawkins.
