Having taken over the top spot, Nicole Collet’s RED continues to gain distance from Vivek Kumar’s Hearts on Fire (Heartwarming Birthday Messages). Will he regain the #1 ranking as Valentine’s Day approaches? Stay tuned…

Zeke Kuenzi’s Reckless moved up several spots, from #12 two weeks ago to #8 this week with a gain of 43 votes, while A Journey of Faith by Ann Harrison moved from #18 to #14 with 21 new votes.

As we suggested last weekend, we’re expanding the number of SOOP Dollar winners to five! That means the top five most popular book ideas every month will earn their authors SOOP Dollar awards of $50, $40, $30, $20, and $10, and that means Nicole Collet, Vivek Kumar, Christian Lee, Colten Zacharias, and Wendy Karasin all deserve congratulations on their wins this month! Great work, all of you.

Don’t forget, we’ve also introduced new ways to spend these SOOP Dollars to improve your production, platform, and pitch!

Next week, we’ll give some special Shout Outs to a few authors whose book ideas show great promise.
