Have You Submitted Your Book for a B.R.A.G. Medallion?

by Chris Robley on March 11, 2013 in BookBaby News, eBook Promotion, Self Publishing

It’s time for a BookBaby shout-out

BookBaby author Holly Bush (yes, that’s her real name!) has just been honored with a B.R.A.G. Medallion from indieBRAG for her book Romancing Olive. Hooray, Holly!

What’s a B.R.A.G. Medallion?

Well, it’s a kind of award given to outstanding books that were published independently.

indieBRAG’s mission is:

… to recognize quality on the part of authors who self-publish both print and digital books. As such, we are constantly on the lookout for the work of talented men and women who have written indie books across a wide range of genres. Our primary focus is fiction, however, we selectively consider non-fiction books as well.

Here’s how indieBRAG/B.R.A.G. Medallion works:

From the large and rapidly growing library of indie books that are available today, we select those that we believe deserve to be considered. These books are then read and evaluated by members drawn from our reader group. The readers judge the merits of the books based on our proprietary list of criteria. The single most important criterion that we ask our readers to use in judging a book is whether or not they would recommend it to their best friend. Once a book meets this standard of quality, we award it our B.R.A.G. Medallion™, and along with other medallion recipients, it is presented on this website.

How do you submit a book to B.R.A.G. Medallion?
