Yes! The goal of the competition is to gain and help your competitors gain social media exposure. A first of its kind that's run by the authors. From the website:
The search is now on for M.A.R.S’s Author of the Year, which will be judged by Keeran & Vaani. The winning author’s book could then be made into a feature film by Keeran Vaani Creations. Our Aim is to give all our Marzian authors who enter this competition as much maximum exposure via the large social media networking sites as we possible can & also help KeeranVaani Creations launch a campaign to raise enough money to produce their feature film “Disturbed.”
From Author Ann Simpson:
Let's face it. New indie authors are tasked with marketing their books. As we venture into the future, new ideas will emerge. As an aspiring author of paranormal mystery the opportunity to be part of this competition, to have my book excerpts tweeted to thousands is amazing.
