Competitions for Self-Published Authors

I’m still here! I swear I’m still here and filled with new material that I’m working very hard on at the moment :-)

Just thought those self-published authors might want to know about two competitions I discovered recently:

1. Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Contest: recently closed for 2014 entry, but link below to learn about it. Many different categories depending on your book’s genre, could be a great opportunity to establish yourself as an indie author :-)

2. The Guardian Legend Self-Published Book of the Month: (for UK residents only!) The Guardian is a well-reputed UK newspaper running a monthly competition looking for the best self-published books.

Know of any more? Had any experience with either of these competitions? Hope you find this useful info :-)
