Have you completed the entry form? Find it here. Please submit it online.
When preparing your entry to post please keep the environment in mind. Also please make it easy for us to open (you'd be surprised how difficult it can be when the entire parcel is covered in sellotape!). Just keep in mind we need a way in to get to your book!
We would also appreciate it if you do not use a signed for service as this can significantly delay things.
When posting from a country outside the United Kingdom it is important that you fill in any relevant sender declarations and custom forms correctly. Not doing so will result in your entry being returned by the postal system.
Customs form: if a phone number is requested please write "Unknown".
If you have any problems with the delivery do contact us.
Your entry must be postmarked no later than the entry date. However, if posting from abroad please do not send via surface mail when close to the deadline.

Please DO NOT send us any marketing material or press releases with your entry.

Ebooks are accepted if there is no print version available or if there are difficulties with us receiving your print version.

Make sure your ebook is in one of the following formats: Word, PDF, Mobi; e-pub. If your file is not one of these please convert it using Calibre or a similar software programme. We cannot convert files for you.
Please upload and submit your ebook via the Entry form.

That's great. It gives us some choices here! Just be sure to read everything on this page. Only one entry fee needed to enter both versions.

We accept books sent directly from book stores or online stores.
