THE AWARDS

The only genres that we will be accepting for now are: Teen Fiction, Romance, New Adult, Thriller, Werewolf, Vampires, Fanfiction, Historical Fiction and Urban Fiction. There will three stages before we pick three winners for each genre. 15 books will be picked from each genre and the blurb will help us decide which ones will be moving up to the next stage.

(Here's a tip for you-You have one chance to introduce your book to the reader, so you need to make it count. Your blurb has to be as captivating as your book itself.)

Stage Two

Here the book will be checked for substance- does your book hold meaning? Are the characters defined? And Plagiarism.

(NOTE: IF YOUR BOOK DOESN'T MAKE IT TO THE NEXT STAGE IT'S NOT BECAUSE WE THINK IT'S PLAGIARISED WORK)

Stage three

This is the last and hardest stage. Is your plot meaningful? Are the audiences captivated? How is your written English? Do we relate to your book?
