It does cost to enter this contest, but it is not a fake. It is mentioned favorably in Publishers Weekly, and can bring much needed publicity and prestige to self-published or small-published authors.

The writers group here all take part in this contest and swear by it.

Here's their definition of Independent



What do you consider an "independent?"

We define "independent" as:
a) Independently owned and operated
b) Universities and foundations
c) Independently operated imprints who publish less than 50 titles per year.
d) Independent authors who publish themselves or through a subsidy or POD publisher.

I was hoping they took small press publishers too, but they don't. Oh well. Back to the drawing board.
