REMINDER: Sept. 5 is Last Day to Submit for BAIPA Title Contest

September 3, 2022 by John Byrne Barry

We ran our first book blurb contest in the spring, modeled after our cover contest. Now we’re seeking submissions for a title contest.

Thanks to all of you who submitted titles already. We have about a dozen entries. This is last call. Deadline is September 5. Labor Day. By the end of the day.

  1. The contest is open to current BAIPA member, for a title (and subtitle) that is not yet published. (You can submit a title for a book you haven’t even written yet. Like my possible fifth novel, Killing in the Kitchen: The Pickleball Cruise Ship Family Reunion Murder Mystery.)
  2. One title per author.
  3. Send the title and genre to [email protected]. (If you already have a book cover, include it and we’ll put it on the slide with the title.)
  4. Deadline is Monday, September 5 to submit your title. We’ll hold the poll at our September 10 meeting.
  5. We will put the titles onto slides and share them before the meeting and at the meeting. We’ll use a Zoom poll, and everyone present at the meeting will get three votes.

Winner(s) get a free afternoon workshop in 2022 or 2023. (Note: Earlier we said 2022, but it’s already September, and we only have a few workshops on the calendar before the end of the year.

We look forward to seeing your titles.
