Chill with a Book AWARD
by Pauline
Barclay
September saw the launch of a brand new award,
Chill with a Book AWARD.
The Award is exclusively for indie authors
and authors with small indie publishers and is designed to promote the best
books from indie authors.
Indie authors write some of the great reads
on offer in the market place, but due to a number of constraints their work is
not always as visible as authors published with large publishing houses, yet many
of them deserve as much, if not more, recognition.
For those who know me, understand I am very
passionate about supporting indie authors, I am one myself and know from
personal experience how tough it is to gain recognition and a large following
whilst sitting down and writing the next novel, and that is why I have created
Chill with a Book AWARD .

I want Chill with a Book AWARD, not only to gain a reputation for recognising great reads, but for authors to feel proud to receive the accolade. However, the AWARD is not for everyone, it will only be honoured to the best.
How the process works:
Once a title has been accepted for
consideration it will be read by a number of Chill’s readers and checked
against the following criteria…
- Were the characters strong and engaging?
- Was the book well written?
- Did the plot have you turning the page to find out what happened next?
- Was the ending satisfying?
- Have you told your friends about it?
Readers have clear instructions on how to
arrive at their evaluation.
Authors must understand that a book accepted
for consideration for a Chill with a Book AWARD does not guarantee it will
receive the AWARD.
Authors of books accepted for consideration
for the AWARD will be notified directly whatever the final decision.
Awarded books will be promoted on Chill
with a Book’s web site, Chill's Pinterest board, Chill's Facebook page and
Twitter
A small fee of £15 is charged for each book
accepted for consideration payable via Paypal (the fee is for the purchase of
Kindle copies for readers and any balance left used to maintain Chill’s web
site)
There are limited places each month for
books to be considered and if you are interested in submitting your title,
please email Pauline at paulinechill@hotmail.com
in the first instance.
Chill with a Book’s decisions to accept or
reject a book for consideration is final.
Chill with a Book's decision to award a
book or not is final.
It is an exciting time for Chill with a
Book and indie authors and I look forward to seeing great, well written reads
sporting the coveted Chill with a Book AWARD button on every book shelf.
