Middle Grade Promotional Giveaway Opportunity

I’m hosting a Contest and giveaway for Middle Grade Authors in March.

It’s an NCAA style line up contest, with prizes. I need 5 more middle grade books to complete the bracket. Details and fast approaching deadline below. Fist come first serve.


The BookWorthy Podcast is planning a Contest and Giveaway for March 2026.

 

Since March is Middle Grade Book Month AND March Madness, BookWorthy is hosting a Middle Grade Madness Championship. The goal is to raise awareness about clean, wholesome books for ages 8-12.

 

I am inviting 32 Middle Grade Authors to participate in an NCAA Championship-style competition. This is purely a reader's choice competition, not a literary competition. Both author and reader participants will vote between two books; the one with the most votes will move on to the next round. The more you get your followers to participate, the higher the chance your book will advance through the brackets.

 

The winner of the Championship will receive a $50 Amazon Gift Card, an Author Care Kit, as well as 24ct Middle Grade Madness Champion Stickers, plus a jpeg.

 

Voter participants also put their name into a random drawing for a Reader's prize, chosen after the Championship Match.

 

If you are interested in participating in this contest and giveaway, please reply to this and send the following before 1/30/2026

 

  • One Physical Copy of the Competing book sent to PO Box 216, Wylie, Tx 75098

  • A 60-second video introducing you and your book

  • A 100-word max blurb about your book

  • A High-res Author Headshot

  • A High-Res Book Cover

 

Please consider participating in Middle Grade March Madness, and et me know if you are joining in or have any questions.

 

Many Blessings,

Valerie Fentress
