Guidelines:
All books written in English, are eligible to win. If you have previously submitted a book, that book is no longer eligible.
The judging panel is comprised of BestSellers World reviewers, some of whom are authors. All are active in the literary community. A few areas of criteria to be judged will include:
- Plot
- Ability to Engage the Reader
- Title of Book
- Book Cover Design
- Grammar
- Content
- Originality
- Conclusion
We will use a point system to determine three finalists. A judging panel will determine the first, second and third place winners.
Due to postage increases, we are encouraging only PDF copies of your book. Be sure the PDF includes the front book cover. You will be notified when to forward the PDF.
Deadline for nominations is December 15, 2025.
