Establishing an awards program for self-published authors offers
libraries new ways to bolster their relevance and expand upon their
roles as curators and "keepers of story." This guide shows you how.
For many reasons, up until now librarians have ignored the nearly
half-million self-published books available for purchase. This book
details how to find and promote librarian-curated, self-published
books, covering every step in the process-from assembling a
committee and recruiting judges to soliciting submissions, handling
the nominated authors, judging the entries, and promoting the
contest and contest winner. Written by the founding members of the
Soon-to-be-Famous Illinois Author Project, the first
librarian-curated award for self-published works, this book shows
you how to use the process outlined by these library marketing
professionals to run a successful author awards program. You can
also apply their proven methods and tools to evaluate
self-published books written by local authors that you are
considering adding to your collections. Offers practical,
step-by-step guidelines for librarians wishing to launch a
librarian-curated, self-publishing author award program Inspires
librarians to explore a new area of service and maintain their
libraries' relevance Describes how to position librarians in a new
leadership role with curation, eBooks, and self publishing to
better engage their communities
