4.) You will receive..get ready for it..PRIZES!
Aside from the recognition you'll get after you win, you will also be getting monetary prizes. Book Contest prizes can range from $15,000 up to $50,000. No wonder a lot of writers want to join these contests! Some contest organizers have partnered with traditional publishing houses and film production companies for future title acquisition so getting your book acquired is definitely high! Now, that’s definitely a good deal!
5.) Motivation
Book Contests usually set deadlines for the participants and believe me, nothing will help you better than a deadline to finish your book. If you’re an author who hasn’t finished writing the book but is dead serious about joining a book contest, this one's for you. Joining Book Contests will not only help you to
stay focused and motivated but will also help you in prioritizing what’s important until you complete
your book in time for the contest.
6.) Experience
You might’ve heard the saying “Experience is the best teacher”. As cliché as it sounds, this is actually quite true. You can read about other people’s experiences joining book contests, the do’s and don’ts, what to prepare, etc. but nothing beats experiencing it firsthand. Aside from interacting with other aspiring writers, some contests will give you the opportunity to speak with the judges and receive feedback from them. You will also be getting tips and best practices from other writers who’ve been in the industry longer than you. So even if you don’t place in a contest, I’m positive you’ll be getting more than a few takeaways.
So are you ready to take your book to a whole new level?
