Submitting to Chill Awards


Chill with a Book Awards
is for
Independent Authors


Due to an overwhelming demand, I am sorry to announce, but for now, submissions are suspended.

A notice will be posted here once submissions are open again. Alternatively, you can email to go on the waiting list.

 If you would like to read for Chill Awards, then please get in touch via the contact form.



CHILL AWARDS are designed to shine a light on the best written books from independent authors

There is NO fee to submit a book.

 Titles accepted for consideration and added to the Award Programme will be read by THREE Chill readers and checked against the following criteria…


 Were the characters strong and engaging?

Was the book well written?

Did the story / plot have you turning the page to find out what happened next?

Was the ending satisfying?

Would you recommend to someone who reads this kind of story?


 Readers are asked to score between 1-5 (5 being a yes)

 Comments are welcome, and encouraged, from readers. All comments included will be passed to the author.

 ALL readers are anonymous to authors, however, their country of origin will be noted on the certificate.

 If a book is accepted authors will be asked to send an EPUB file - NO other format will be considered.

 Books submitted MUST be published.


Awards are...

Readers' Award

or

Readers' Premier Award

Book of the Month Award

Book Cover of the Month

Special PB Award (awarded by myself for exceptional books)

 

YEAR END AWARDs

 Book of the Year

Cover of the Year


 All awardees will be notified directly via their email.

 Awarded books will be showcased on…

 Chill with a Book's web site

Chills' Facebook page and Twitter.

A review will be added to Goodreads

Amazon is not always allowing reviews so a review here is not guaranteed

 

It is the collective results from the THREE readers of each book that determines if a book is awarded or not.

 

Authors must accept that a book accepted for consideration for a Chill with a Book AWARD does not guarantee it will receive an AWARD.

 

 If you are interested in submitting your book please fill in the CONTACT FORM found in the left hand column.

You MUST include:

 Your pen name.

Your book title.

Failure to includes these details means your book will not be considered.


 It doesn't matter when the book was published, but it must be published by an independent author or with a small independent publisher.

 

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.


 NOTE: Chill with a Book Awards is not accepting erotic books. However, some Sci Fi or fantasy may be considered.

Looking forward to talking soon.

Pauline

  15. Does the book have to be recently published, or would an indie novel from a few years ago be considered?
