What a great question, Michelle! I would promote them because readers don’t know anything about caution lists, etc. Most can’t tell you which awards might be the most prestigious, either. Be aware, though, that industry professionals know more than readers so caution-list awards will carry less weight with agents and traditional publishers.

You’re an experienced award-winner, Dina, so I’m glad you work to get the word out. You have SO MUCH to be proud of!

I have done all those things! The win itself is amazing, but if you can maximize the promotion of the win, it becomes a win-win! 😊👍

I have won five awards for my book, but four of the awards are listed on the “Caution” list. It makes me wonder whether I should promote these wins or not. What do you suggest?

The books are:
Zeeka chronicles: Revenge of Zeeka in the category Young Adult ThHriller
and I am Cancer Free in the category Health and Fitness.

I had recently published a book, How to Write for Success and I formed a group – How to Write for Success Group to teach young and aspiring authors the way to achieve success in writing. My blog has a similar name.
I will be attending the Awards Ceremony in Miami and hope to gain more knowledge to share with my group.

The judge’s comments were great and the book received 5s in all categories. FIRE ANGELS is a southern (FL) novel that follows a young family 1915-1925.
