Announcing the 2023 winning book campaigns for the Christian Authors Network Excellence in Marketing Awards.
Christian Authors Network (CAN) is pleased to announce the winning titles for the 2023 CAN Excellence in Marketing Awards. The awards honor book marketing campaigns by Christian authors.
“Marketing is a tough job, you can’t simply publish a book and hope it sells. The author must market their book” says Susan Neal, the CEO of Christian Authors Network, the sponsor of the award. Judging is based upon engagement, innovation, investment of time and money, and return on investment. Award categories include Visual Media, Web Presence and Broadcast Media in both fiction and nonfiction.
The grand prize for the awards included a $1500 publicity package from Jones Literary. Christian authors can submit their marketing campaign for judging in December of each year at https://christianauthorsnetwork.com/marketing-award/.
