The Independent Publisher Book Awards contest is now accepting entries from independent authors and publishers with books intended for an English-speaking audience. Books released between January 1, 2017 and February 23, 2019, or with 2017-2019 copyrights are eligible.
There are two ways to enter: online with a credit card or the printable entry form to pay by check. Ship books with entry form tucked inside the front cover– the final step in the online entry process is printing out mailing instructions. Results will be announced on about April 10, 2019. The award ceremony will be held on the eve of Book Expo in NYC, in late May, at the Copacabana Times Square.
Note: All entries are automatically considered for our Outstanding Books of the Year Awards at no extra charge.
E-book category entries can be uploaded at the end of the online entry process, or you can send via attachment (PDF, EPUB, MOBI), via DropBox, or you can provide iTunes access code.
Independent publishers, university presses, self-publishers, and independent authors who publish books intended for an English-speaking audience may enter. Books released between January 1, 2017 and February 23, 2019, or with 2017-2019 copyrights, are eligible. Books with release dates after the deadline may be entered if they carry a 2019 copyright and if a good judging copy is available.
