All contestants receive a book review and critique as part of their entry fee. All of our reviews are honest and unbiased. We’ll email you our review of your e-book once it’s completed. If you happen to receive a review that is less than positive, you can request that we don’t post it.
We do our best to promote authors in the best possible way. You could be contacted during our review process if we believe constructive feedback is warranted. However, no refunds will be issued once your online entry form is received.
Each medal-winning book will receive a gold, silver, bronze, honorable mention, and/or award finalist digital medal for use on your website or digital e-book cover as well as a print-on-demand personalized certificate.
