They have also announced that voting for the 4th Annual '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' Awards Contest is taking place now. The 4th annual awards contest has been opened to the public for the first time. In keeping with the tradition of creating maximum publicity opportunities for the works of both published and self-published authors, this year's contest has been carefully designed to maximize public awareness for authors. Finalists will be chosen by public vote which will be backed up by the show's ongoing publicity campaign.

Entrants will submit a 1000-word essay about their journey to becoming an author, how that journey has impacted their lives and will present the author's body of work to the public. Winners will also be chosen by public vote based on the essay submitted. Winners will appear in the print and electronic versions of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading', which will be available to the public through online book outlets. Finalists and winners will appear on a dedicated website, 50GreatWritersYouShouldBeReading.com, with headshots, book covers and links to the author's website.
