"The Book Pick" Contest!
Enter to be our BB Club House Book Pick
Open to ALL authors! (Even self published)
We are seeking America’s greatest undiscovered books that our book clubs will LOVE! So we want to know about all the books that maybe aren't getting on Oprah's or the Best Seller list, but SHOULD BE! We want to help YOU get the word out to book clubs about YOUR book! We have over 2700 members and 450 clubs (and growing) in our community and we are looking for the next, best story to share with readers.

Here is how it goes...
Book submissions will be accepted from all published authors (includes self-published, young, old, big names and unknowns) as long as the book is printed and has an actual ISBN number and can be found through the Amazon database. (See dates below for submission)
Once we get all the book submissions in, the submissions will be narrowed down to the Top 5* book picks that we think are most appropriate for our book club readers.
If your book is in the Top 5, it will be listed on our site for roughly 3 weeks!!! During which time, we will open up the voting. Top vote getter of the chosen 5 will be our BB Book Pick for the indicated month.
A note about voting: Clubies can vote once a day EVERY day of the voting period! But only once a day. So vote often! And recruit your friends! (Remember it's free to become a Clubie.) You want lots of votes, cause...
The winner will receive:
Whoah! We may not be the "Grand Dame Miss O" but that's a great value to the winner (and the Top 5)!
Additional prizes may be announced.
