Golden Box Book Publishing GBBP Magazine, August, 2017 | Page 3

www.goldenboxbooks.com Our mission is to provide affordable award contests, recognition, and promotion to Indie authors and small publishers. Most respected contest organizers require a high entry fee, and they reject books with only a few reviews. Most Indie authors, no matter how great their books are, can't afford effective marketing, therefore, their books are not found by readers and a lot of amazing stories remain unknown. The Contest Judges were asked to rate the books 0-10 based on the questions below: Is the story line engaging and interesting enough to make you turn the pages? Is the protagonist's character well developed? Is the antagonist character well developed? (You love to hate it) Is the authors' writing style engaging and makes the story flow well? Is the formatting and or illustrations aesthetically pleasing? Did you find the story idea original or just the same old? Is the plot well thought out and well developed? (No inconsistencies and flows well) Satisfying ending (happy ending or not, did it leave you satisfied with the conclusion of the story?) The FINALIST books received 8-10 points out of 10 3
