Previous Winners Had A Blast!

“With the exceptional honor of winning the book cover award, Jane and her team featured my book in their newsletter and allowed me to participate at their event at The Beverly Hills Waldorf Astoria for free! I’m so appreciative for their dedication to books and authors. Jane is surely a great connection to have!” - Suzanne Simonetti, USA Today bestselling author of The Sound of Wings

"Being a Bedside Reading Book Cover winner has truly been a wonderful experience. I've found new readers through the programs they offer winners and have been so honored to have my book featured as one of the winners! I love it so much I've entered a new book cover for the third year in a row!" -​ Kelly Elliot, Fearless Enough

“As a winner in the first annual Bedside Reading Book Cover Awards many non-traditional marketing strategies opened up for me. The book placement in their newsletters and media (Luxury Magazines, Publishers Weekly, Facebook & Instagram), exposed my series to a while new upper echelon market. This exposure included luxury hotels, which added additional awareness and sales. If you want your title to stand heads above the others, I highly recommend adding Bedside Reading to your marketing plan. Their professionalism is second to none. You won’t be disappointed.”
​- Robert Scott Thayer, award-winning author, Kobee Manatee series

"The book-cover contest was a great experience. Just being the added visibility from other voters was worth the price. It was also nice having an excuse to ask friends and family to support our book with minimal effort. Having Dayana, Dax, and the Dancing Dragon win, with the cover in social media and magazine ads was pure bonus. It’s always nice to be able to say ‘award-winning’ and display the attractive gold winner’s seal. The idea to show captive hotel audiences books is genius. Jane and Erin go the extra mile by sending materials that highlight our books. They spontaneous share our books on social media, and it’s always fun to see the beautiful mockups they create. Working with them has been delightful, and I hope to partner up again in the future." - Terrel Dean, award-winning author, Dance-It-Out series
