How does the contest work?
~ We will pre-screen all books.
~ Our screeners will read your book until they are either turned on or turned off.
~ If you hook us, we will enter your book in the semi-finals, and pass your book on to the judges.
~ We will post semi-finalists on July 1, 2012.
~ If our judges do not think your book is one of the top books of the 2012, they may stop reading.
~ Our judges will choose 5 finalists in each genre. The five finalists will be posted on September 1, 2012
~ We will announce the "Grand Prize Winners" of each genre on October 1, 2012. Grand prize winners will receive $100 cash, a free Twitterlicious Social Media Buzz and a one month Sponsorship ad.
What are we looking for?
~We are simply looking for the very best indie books out there. We are judging quality of writing, quality of plot, and quality of ebook formatting (a complete professional product). If you want to be a winner, you must grab our attention and keep it from the beginning. If you do not hook us, we will close your book. We are NOT looking for mediocrity. We are looking for the very best, as subjective as that is. We are doing this for fun and so that you can have bragging rights. Each book that passes the screening process will be judged by a lover of the genre. We will honor all semi-finalists (anyone who passes the pre-screening process), and the finalists with a special post and a bunch of tweets. And you can add your title (i.e. "Winner" or "Semi-Finalist" or "Finalist"in The Kindle Book Review's Best Indie Books of 2012) on your Kindle book page!
What not to do:
Do not email us and inquire about your status/results. We will not respond to inquiries.
Do not send doc files, jpg, pdf or any unformatted Kindle files.
