5.

This is one way that TRC works to introduce readers to new-to-them authors!
6. Inclusion in our huge readers events: We have at least 4 events each year.

| These reader events bring
readers to your bookshelf pages (cover, back cover blurb, review
blurbs and excerpt) where they need to find icons or questions
to answer in order to win prizes. What are the prizes? They vary between events. However, the total prize package value for each reader event ranges from $500.00 to over $2000.00. We often have weekly prizes, as well as Grand Prizes. Prizes include books, gift certificates to places like Amazon, Macys.com, Lowes, Home Depot or Walmart, and of course, other prizes, like chocolate (Godiva and Hershey's), and other cool prizes! We usually have anywhere from 12,000 - 40,000 entries per event, so there is lots of exposure for participating authors. |
