An author buddy
was complaining about
how expensive book award contests were
to enter.
Her argument was
that there are many great books
written by broke a$$ authors.
The world is deprived
of these works due to lack of funding.
That’s bullshit.
The world is deprived
of these works due to lack of creativity
and if the author
isn’t creative enough
to figure out a way
to get the $35 entry fee paid,
then how innovative can the book possibly be?
If you believe in your product
that much,
ask a friend, family member, or fan
to pay the entry fee.
Repay them out of the increased sales
when you win.
Never let lack of money
hold you back
from achieving your goals.
Find a way.
