All participants should be proud of their books as we can tell you first hand that the quality of all of the books received has raised the standard of Indie publishing for sure. Well done!

For those of you who made the winner list, the arduous job of promoting your work has gotten a little easier through a winner seal. Here are some ideas on how to use your winner status to promote your title:

·        Once you receive your seal, get your publisher to add it to the cover of your book.

·        Post your seal everywhere! This includes your Amazon page, author page, blog, media kit, and any other social media profile or author’s bio.

·        Be proud and blast it off! Announce it everywhere through Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.

·        If you have advertisements, make sure you include your seal on them.

·        Get features everywhere you can to announce the win.

For those of you who did not make the winner list, this is certainly not the end of the road for your title! There are certain things you can do.

·        Read the review for hints on why yours was not selected.

·        Find a positive quote in your review that you can use to add on your back cover as a Reader Views endorsement. This quote can also be used on your bio and Amazon page and announced through social media networks.

·        If your review mentioned any specific problem with the production of the book, invest in some consulting help to correct by revising it, or avoid flaws on your next book.

·        Do not be discouraged! You have done something most only dream of – Celebrate that achievement and keep writing!
