I’ve entered the Eppies
(eBook awards)
and they’ve posted the list of entries online.
I see the entries are a little light.
Yikes.
So what I’ve been doing
is promoting the heck out of the award,
recruiting new entries.
A buddy asked why I would want more competition.
My reply was…
an award everyone has heard of
is worth more
than an award no one has heard of.
Plus I truly believe that Invisible, my novel,
is a great enough book
that it will final
regardless of the competition.
I want the books I final with
to be so damn good,
my novel gets extra press because of it.
If you have the best product out there
(and if you don’t, why are you in business?)
then you shouldn’t worry
how much competition you have.
