NEW YORK _ The 2009 Beach Book Festival is an annual program spotlighting the hottest reads of the upcoming summer season. The Beach Book Festival considers self-published or independent publisher non-fiction, fiction, biography/autobiography, children's books, teenage, how-to, science fiction, romance, comics, poetry, spiritual, compilations/anthologies, history, business and health-oriented books published on or after Jan. 1, 2001.
Our grand prize for the 2009 Beach Book Festival is $1500 cash and a flight to New York for our awards program. The winning entry will also receive a two-week public relations campaign touting their beach-read victory.
Submitted works are judged for general excellence, i.e., the potential of the work to be an engaging beach read this summer season.
