A Frequently Asked Question:
How Can I Increase the Chances My Book Will Receive an Award?
Make sure your book hooks the reader right from the start and that you follow all the guidelines for consideration. Include all the required paperwork and send the required number of copies. The judges can?t select a book for an award if we can?t send them a copy to review.
Any other questions?
Send an email to Bobbi Carducci bobbi.carducci@youngvoicesfoundation.org
Good luck and remember:
Award stickers help to convince buyers to purchase. When faced with making a choice and a limited budget, buyers will take the book that won an award, any award, over the title that doesn't have an award to its credit.
