The entry period for the NCPA Awards 2010 (for books published in 2009) is open!
Enter by January 15, 2010.
This year, we have revamped the categories and reduced the number of possible awards. This should reduce redundancies and excessive prize-giving. This means that if you win an NCPA award, it’s now more valuable than every.
- There are three categories: Fiction, Non-Fiction, and Children. The prizes are Gold, Silver, and Bronze. And prizes will not be awarded unless the books are truly deserving.
- There is also a best new voice award.
- We’ve reduced the number of design awards. The marketing award is still the same. Check out the entry form and the rules to see more.

Bradley A. Simkins

“A Publishing and Writing Odyssey” (NCPA Conference 2010) is going to be great! Visit the NCPA Conference 2010 website to get the flyer, schedule, registration form, and all the details.
It’s going to be an excellent event, with nationally-known publisher Dominique Raccah (SourceBooks) keynoting. She’s the head of the nation’s largest “small publisher.” She’s a nationally recognized publisher and business leader. And she’s not afraid of taking risks. She puts out the Fiske Guide to Colleges, publishes poetry and has resurrected Georgette Heyer!
This daylong conference is an opportunity for emerging and established authors and publishers to hear firsthand from experts. Lunch, which is included in the registration price, and several generous break will give you a chance to network.
You’ll get more information than ever from all our excellent presenters: agents, marketers, accountants, and distributors. Check out the schedule! There are sessions for both authors and publishers, and there will be many extras as well. Visit the NCPA Conference 2010 website for all the details.
