Welcome to my roundup of book marketing tips and resources for authors and indie publishers.

Select Book Awards Programs to Enter
If you published a book this year (or last year), this is a good time to be thinking about which book awards competitions you want to enter. Some award programs offer reduced entry fees for submitting early and some will accept entries published in the previous year.
