SkillBites, an entrepreneur-oriented publishing firm which helps business owners attract prospects by giving them a taste of their expertise, will be hosting a free contest called "Jumpstart 2013" from January 4 to February 4, 2013. The contest is for entrepreneurs and professionals to write a short (4000 - 4500 words) how-to book about an area of their expertise. Having a published book provides the author with instant credibility and the perception of being a leading authority in the subject of the book. Authors also get a great give-away to attract prospects, and will gain a wider market for their products or services.

“Writing a book is an incredible marketing tool for building a business and generating income,” explained Judy Weintraub, President of SkillBites. “The Jumpstart 2013 Contest provides an excellent opportunity for business professionals to write a book quickly that they can then use for the remainder of the year to attract prospects and grow their business.”

Contest entrants will receive an eBook template and a guide on how to quickly write an eBook. Those who submit a qualifying eBook by the February 4 deadline will be eligible for a drawing with 20 prize winners, including one grand prize of a SkillBites Author Package. SkillBites’ Author Packages all include publication on the SkillBites website as well as Amazon, Barnes & Noble and all the other major distribution channels; availability of the author’s book in print; editing and formatting services; and marketing services, including business strategy consulting to help the author leverage the book to grow their business.
