Using Book Awards and Contests to Maximize Your Exposure

We love book contests, in fact, Penny has judged a few of them, including Writer's Digest and IBPA's Benjamin Franklin Awards! So this podcast is both a behind-the-scenes deep dive into book awards and contests, why you'd want to enter your book, and how to find the right ones. Plus, we'll talk about what to avoid, like scammy contests that just want to take your money (sadly, they're out there, too). Our goal for this episode is to inspire you to put yourself out there and start submitting yourself to contests and awards (or more of them) because there are a lot of surprising ways they can help your platform! Send us your feedback!Preorder Think Local Sell Global and claim your free Local Buzz Blueprint, a customized local visibility plan with personalized outreach ideas, pitch angles, and ready-to-use marketing tools built around your book and community! Offer ends July 31.📱 Text Penny & Amy: Send your marketing questions, show feedback, and episode ideas.
