Kevin Mahon asked Nicholas Ponticello:

Nicholas, I am considering entering my new novel in the Forward Indies Book Awards. Your thoughts on spending the 100 bucks to enter? I see you won in the humour category. Did it help a lot? Cheers! Kev.

Nicholas Ponticello It didn't lead to more sales of that particular book, but having won a few awards for my writing has given me some cache with agents as I query my new projects. I think I've had more bites on my query letters because they mention all the previous writing awards.

So it will not earn you back your money. BUT it feels good and could help with future projects.
