2021 BOOK BUYERS BEST
CONTEST FOR PUBLISHED AUTHORS
The OCCRWA is running its annual Book Buyers Best Contest for traditional or indie romances in print or e-novel format published during 2020.
Non-refundable entry fee: $30, RWA members; $50, non-RWA.
The contest is open now and closes on April 30, 2021. We invite you to submit to our contest (and tell your non-RWA writer friends about it, too!).
Even if you’re not entering one of your books into the contest, you’re invited to be one of our judges. It’s a fun experience to be introduced to the writing of published authors you don’t know (see link below).
