CLRI Literary Awards Nomination 2017
Dear authors,
We have initiated nomination process to various literary
awards and prizes. CLRI will nominate authors published with us during the past
year (CLRI February 2016, CLRI May 2016, CLRI August 2016, CLRI November 2016). However before we select the few best stories we seek help from our
authors. They need to distribute their stories among their readers and get them
read and send us their rating.
How to
create readership for your stories?
Reading Cycle January 1, 2017 –
January 30, 2017
Authors need their stories distribute among their own circle
and get them read by their readers. Ask the readers to give a rating out of 5.
Do not post your
stories on blogs, social networking sites, or other places.
Post link to your stories from CLRI on blogs, social
networking sites, or other places. Example: For the story titled And
Confessions Created Confusions by Veerinder Patwari, share or post the link http://literaryjournal.in/index.php/clri/article/view/200
among your friends. Our journal system is capable to track how many people accessed
the article and the CLRI team will gather rating manually from such social
networking sites.
