BookAwardPro Questions

I’d like some input on the services offered by bookawardpro.com

Initially they offered to connect your book with all kinds of awards. Most of these awards seem to a pay to play kind of system and there are dozens such as: Literary Titan Book Award, Next Best Reads Awards, American Fiction Awards, Global Book Awards etc.

Questions:

  1. Is there any legitimacy in these awards? Thomas does no include these under the awards to celebrate, so are they in fact real awards?

  2. Do any readers actually take note of these awards? Would it make any difference to marketing, sales, or such?

Part two: BookAwardPro now also added a Get Reviews section. You pay a certain amount of money and they then manage and guarantee a certain amount of Amazon reviews. $199 will get you free reviews. They claim you do not pay for the reviews but only for them to manage the process of you getting reviews so it is above board with the Amazon Ts&Cs.

I have my doubts though.

Does anybody have any experience with BookAwardPro, or an opinion or the kind of awards and reviews they can get you?
