Included with every Booky
Every winner gets a permanent award page, category-specific judge quote, rubric scores, PDF certificate, and embeddable badge.
WINNER ASSETS
A Book Award Badge Authors Can Actually Use
A Booky is not just a line of text. Winners receive assets designed for author websites, social posts, newsletters, media outreach, and book pages.
Author Bundle upgrade
The Author Bundle adds a press release, eight social graphics, a short AI-narrated audio reel, and a cover-with-badge image. Authors distribute the assets themselves.
Use badges honestly
Booky badges should link back to the award page so readers can see the category, judge reasoning, supporting passages, and scoring context.
Where the badge belongs
Use the book award badge on your author site, book landing page, media kit, newsletter footer, launch graphics, and retail-description screenshots where allowed. The strongest placement is near a short explanation of the exact category won.
Certificate versus badge
The certificate is best for media kits, event tables, author pages, and downloadable proof. The badge is best for visual promotion. The permanent winner page ties both together with judge reasoning and the public rubric context.
Avoid vague award claims
Readers trust award claims more when they can verify them. Instead of saying only “award-winning book,” link to the Booky page and name the category so the claim stays specific, transparent, and useful.
Badge placement tips
Keep the badge close to the book cover, buy button, author bio, or praise section. When the badge sits near context, readers understand what it means instead of treating it as decoration.
What the badge should say
The most useful badge claim is specific: name the Booky category and link to the permanent winner page. A precise claim feels more trustworthy than a broad “winner” graphic with no supporting explanation.
Author Bundle use cases
Bundle assets work well for launch emails, bookstore outreach, social posts, podcast pitch sheets, and media-kit pages. Authors still control distribution, but the assets save the time of creating every promotional piece from scratch.
