USA Book News Contest Soon to Close

This came to me too late for the September issue of my #SharingwithWriters newsletter.  I credit USA Book Awards with much of the readership across all of the genres I write in. Awards are great ways to promote books and I talk about that in my The Frugal Book Promoter, but this award is especially impressive at least in part because of its name. And we writers know how much is in a name!

"Book awards do count in marketing and in positioning as a recognized 'go-to' expert. USA Book News and the USA Best Book Awards are always on my recommended list for authors who create quality books to enter. I’ve found that the support from i310 Media Group for winners, both on its websites and with press releases, is exceptional and far beyond what most other awards do."
—Judith Briles, The Book Shepherd, CEO of AuthorU.org

"USA Best Book Awards has a ten year track record of honoring and promoting books to the national and international community. The contest is sponsored by USA Book News which covers books from all sections of the publishing industry—mainstream, independent, & self-published.”
