Calling All Self Published Poets!

PONTYPRIDD, Wales - Jan. 6, 2020 - PRLog -- Even though more and more people are enjoying and participating in creative writing it is becoming increasingly difficult to become traditionally published, especially in the poetry world. Most of the top book prizes and competitions do not allow self published authors to enter. If they are allowed then many are extremely expensive leaving independent publishers, self publishers and indie authors struggling to find the recognition they deserve.

Why should you enter the Poetry Book Awards?

Open to independent authors and publishers worldwide
Cash prizes, certificate, logo
Great Amazon & Goodreads reviews
Earn recognition from having an award-winning book
Your book cover & link on our website
Winners' books sent to Carcanet Press - one of Britain's best poetry publishers
All books given to local libraries / schools after the awards

Your book will be judged by experienced, published poets, respected authors, local writing groups and library staff. Our aim is to achieve respect and recognition from authors, publishers and publishing organisations for our winning choices. This will help the winners gain further recognition when they can proudly announce that they are award-winning authors of the Poetry Book Awards and be confident that the title is respected.

After many years of finding and promoting outstanding poets through the International Welsh Poetry Competition we now aim to bring further recognition to those writers that have produced a book-length collection of their work and hope to heighten a poet's profile by offering this new award.
