Independent Publisher Book Awards - Axiom Business Book Awards - Living Now Book Awards ======================================================================================= Do you have an Award-worthy book that deserves more attention? Book Awards are an efficient, affordable marketing tool that can make a huge impact on your marketing campaign. Our longest running contest, the Independent Publisher Book Awards (aka the IPPYs), has become the world's largest book awards contest, presenting more than 3,000 medals to the year's best indie-published books since 1997. Our newer contests recognize the best in business books and the best lifestyle/homestyle books. Last year, award winners came from 43 U.S. states, eight Canadian provinces, and seven countries overseas. Each year, medals go to both established university publishers and first-book self-publishers. We reward those who exhibit the courage, innovation, and creativity to bring about change in the world of publishing. This spirit and expertise comes from publishers of all sizes and budgets, and books are judged with that in mind. Here's what some past winners are saying: "It’s made a huge difference in my sales, and was the key factor in convincing me to go to a second printing. The IPPY gold seal looks great on the new cover, and I think it’s opening some doors to publication reviews." - Ed Spivey, author of A Hamster is Missing in Washington D.C., 2010 IPPY Awards Humor category Gold Medalist. "I can't tell you how much I value my initial Bronze IPPY award (2008), and I know it's been instrumental in drawing attention to the The Tao of Rudy! Chronicle Books just made an offer for The Tao of Rudy, and of course I accepted the initial terms a couple of weeks ago, and am currently reviewing the rest of the contract. A lot has happened in the last year, and I appreciate your efforts in making my first book a success!" – Corrine Humphreys, Publisher/Author/Illustrator "Our winning of a gold medal in the 2008 competition has greatly helped book sales. We sold nearly 2500 copies of Wild Alberta at the Crossroads last year and had to order a reprint of 1500. When we show retailers the gold medal they are always impressed and invariably order some books." - Robin White, NatureWatch Partners Email me with any questions or comments: Jim Barnes, Awards Director - jimb@bookpublishing.com ===================================================================== Want to keep informed about the indie publishing industry?
