Walking Through Walls Predators and Editors Winner

I'm thrilled to announce that Walking Through Walls, published by 4RV Publishing, won first place in the Predators and Editors Readers Poll. And, I want to thank everyone who voted for it!

There were a number of other 4RV books that placed in the top ten, and 4RV placed 6th in the Publisher's category. Congratulations to all the Top 10 winners, from 4RV and other publishing houses.

What's funny is that this year there isn't a winning image or emblem for the winners to proudly display, so I'll just post the link to the children's books winning page:

There's also a marketing tip in this: contests matter.

Get your book entered in as many contests as you can - just be sure they're reputable because many of them charge a fee. So, you don't want to carelessly enter these contests;, do your research first. If you win or place well, you can include it in your book promotion.

From a marketing standpoint, it's better to be able to use in your signature or bio, "award winning author," rather than simply "author."

Here are a few children's book contests you can enter:

Dan Poynter's Global eBook Awards
Children's Crown Award
Boston Globe Horn Books Award
SCBWI Golden Kite Awards
Children’s Literary Classics

Sorry I didn't include the links, but you can do an online search for them.

Thanks again to all who helped me win, and congratulations to all who won!
