Let Outskirts Press handle all of your entry details. The award submission fee includes IPBA's submission fee, the cost of the judges' copies of your book, shipping & handling and the completion of all the submission forms on your behalf.
When you win this prestigious award, Outskirts Press will add the award seal to your book cover and book's webpage to highlight your award-winning status to potential book buyers.
