Hey, indie author—why not take control and publish your book or short story yourself?

According to Publisher’s Weekly, in July 2014, self-published books represented 31% of e-book sales on Amazon’s Kindle Store, but this percentage is growing everyday. Join the DIY publishing revolution and get your erotic fiction into the hands of your waiting audience. If you believe that your book fits into the market category of erotica or erotic romance, submit your book’s summary before April 1, 2015, for a chance to win a $500 self-publishing package!

What We’re Offering

The writer who submits our favorite plot summary will receive professional publishing services to help get their book out into the world. The prize will include: book cover design, e-book formatting, and an eye-catching banner for use on social media, your website, and elsewhere. We’ll deliver the files required for you to sell your book on all the popular sites, such as Amazon, Smashwords, iTunes, Barnes & Noble, and others.

Work with the award-winning cover designers of Here Booky Booky and the editors of Go Deeper Press to create a “must click” book cover and enticing publicity banner to draw in your readers!*

What “Book” Means

In today’s publishing climate, book means a lot of things. In this contest, though, a book can be anywhere between 1,000 words and 150,000 words. And no, your book doesn’t need to be written already.

What You Need to Do

Submit your book’s summary as a Word document (.doc or .docx) or .rtf file before April 1, 2015. Please use Times New Roman, size 12, or similarly readable font. Your summary should be no longer than 300 words. Summaries that ignore this word count limit will be instantly disqualified. Remember, this is a contest, so be sure to make your summary as “blurb-like” as possible! More than one submission per author is acceptable, but an entry fee must be paid for each submission. All summaries must be submitted in the English language, but entrants can reside in any part of the world.

Where to Send Your Submission

Send your erotica or erotic romance book’s summary to hiya@herebookbooky.com with “Erotica/Erotic Romance E-Book Contest” in your subject line. This is very important: Please include the email address associated with your Paypal account in this email so that we know that you’ve paid the entry fee, even if your email addresses are the same.

How You Need to Pay for Your Submission

Pay the $5.00 entry fee via PayPal at the Go Deeper Press website. PayPal is the only way we will accept entry fees.
