Call Out For Debut Fiction Titles
ForeWord launches debut fiction competition. As a book review journal, at times we feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of titles we receive for review-many more than we can possibly cover in the magazine. For that reason, we created this program.
Online, March 2, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Traverse City, MI-Winning a book award is a great way to create buzz and increase your book's visibility, credibility, and earning potential! But high-entry fees and a pool of competitors from Big-Six publishing houses discourage most first-time authors from dreaming big. With this in mind, ForeWord Reviews has created ForeWord Firsts, a quarterly awards program designed specifically for debut fiction by first-time and self-published authors.
Winners of ForeWord Firsts receive a free Clarion Review, a 350-word professional book review which gets posted on our website and social media sites, and distributed through our eNewsletter, ForeWord This Week.

Winners are featured with ForeWord Reviews, one of the only review magazines that focuses exclusively on independently published books. Unlike other resources distributed to the general public, ForeWord Reviews is targeted to booksellers and librarians. Entering ForeWord Firsts will bring your work directly to the attention of the people who can have the most impact on book sales.
Getting a book reviewed is one of the greatest challenges for first-time authors. Earning a review from a respected and well-known source such as ForeWord Reviews will make your title float above a polluted sea of overlooked self-published titles.
Your ForeWord Reivew can be used in your promotional materials and on your website, and, most importantly, on your back cover. Endorsements placed on the back cover will either walk your book to the register or relegate it back to the shelf.
Operating under a limited marketing budget, self-publishers know that it's crucial to maximize the return on their promotional strategies. ForeWord Firsts' entry fee is only $25.00. And its potential rewards are substantial.
We are currently accepting winter debut fiction titles published between January and March of 2012 from self-published authors and small presses representing these works.
Books must be submitted by April 10. Winners will be announced April 30. Learn more about ForeWord Firsts and how it can contribute to your book's success by logging on to our website.
