Award Submissions
Our special projects publicist will create a robust list of awards for you and your book. The award list will include a diverse selection of literary, regional, genre-specific, and subject-specific awards. The list will be specifically tailored to fit what is best for you, your book, and your publisher.
Once the list is created, you are welcome to submit on your own, or you can have us submit on your behalf, handling all aspects of submissions—managing deadlines, submitting award applications, shipping books, and following up on award announcements. With many years of publishing industry experience and knowledge, we know just which awards to select for your book, and we have an incredible rate of success for our authors.
Winning awards is a wonderful way to celebrate your publishing success and to garner attention for you and your book. Award wins create an opportunity for publicity and social-media buzz around your win.
Event Management
Our special projects publicist would be delighted to manage your literary events—including your book launch, bookstore and library readings, museum events, literary festival participation, and any other relevant events. Our event management includes everything from venue research, outreach to fellow authors and colleagues for event collaboration, event pitching, and any necessary follow-up with you, your publisher, and the venue, up until the date of the event.
Every published author deserves the chance to celebrate the remarkable accomplishment of bringing a book into the world, and literary events can be a wonderful way to reach independent bookstores and other literary organizations.
Publisher Submissions
Finding a publisher for your manuscript can be difficult. If you are considering a traditional publisher, our team will work with select authors and manuscripts to assist you in finding a small-to-medium-sized publisher. We will help you write a compelling query letter and put together a cohesive proposal package. We will curate a list of reputable independent publishers who are accepting unagented manuscripts and who are a good fit for your book. We will then help you tailor your submissions package for each publisher on your list.
For a hybrid press MindBuck recommends Circuit Breaker Books.
