[ IndieBookMan and Friends] Announcing: The ABIE AWARD

We are really looking forward to the Baltimore Book Festival this year. It was a great time last year, we sold a lot of books, registered many new books and got to spread the word about how great indie publishing is.

But this year, we plan to try something new. We are going to honor 1 indie book from the BookFest with the ABIE Award - The AuthorsBookshop award for Independent Excellence.

We are going to pass out ballots and ask festival visitors to check out the Publisher Tent and select their favorite book. We will count the ballots, and award the prize to the title that gets the most votes.

This will be on Saturday only, and the ballot deadline is Sat, 4:30pm. Ballots must be returned to the AuthorsBookshop.com booth to be valid. Winner will be announced at the AuthorsBookshop booth Sat, 5:30pm.

One winner will be chosen by vote. The winner will receive: Free listing at AuthorsBookshop.com. 1 Year consignment-free sales at AuthorsBookshop.com. A review at IndieBookMan.com. An Interview on The IndieBookMan radio show, and possibly some more stuff that we haven't confirmed yet.

SO! Make sure you stop by the AuthorsBookshop.com booth at the festival to pick up your ballot.

Note: The ABIE award is not affiliated with the Baltimore Book Festival.
