Be aware of Eric Hoffer Award registration scams. Every registration to the Eric Hoffer Book Award is treated exactly the same, and no registration ever gets preferential treatment over another. There is no express lane to honors at the Hoffer Award. We are aware that certain book marketers offer preferred registrations under a host of names and at inflated rates as high as %800 or more above our standard registration fees. These marketers will simply register your book like every other book at our standard registration fee, and your book will be considered in the exact same fashion as every other.
The Eric Hoffer Award occurs annually and is open to academic, independent, small press, and self-published books that were released or copyrighted in the last 2 years. (Books over 2 years enter the Legacy Fiction or Legacy Nonfiction category.) Yes, you may nominate your own book. One grand prize will be awarded for the entire contest. In addition, each category will be awarded a winner, runner-up, and multiple honorable mentions. Individual press awards will also be awarded. Registration automatically qualifies the book for Montaigne Medal, da Vinci Eye, and First Horizon consideration. Judges may include authors, editors, agents, publishers, librarians, artists, experienced category readers, and health and business professionals. All entrants will be notified of winners, after April 30th of the award year. After the contest, printed books will be donated to libraries, schools, and hospitals where appropriate, which are fine places to promote your book! Note: Contest closed to Hopewell Publications staff and previous Eric Hoffer Award winning book entries. At the low nomination fee, it is not feasible to provide judge’s critiques for each entry.
