Thanks and congratulations to all participants!įor 23 years our mission at Independent Publisher has been to recognize and encourage the work of publishers who exhibit the courage and creativity necessary to take chances, break new ground, and bring about changes, not only to the world of publishing, but to our society. The goal of the IPPY Awards is to help these books and their messages reach a wider audience and to get the attention they deserve. There are declarations and warnings here that would otherwise go unheard. These books prove just how important independent authors and publishers are to the world of books and the world at large – these stories and ideas can’t be found in the mainstream.
There are life-changing books here…there are enlightening books here…
This year more than ever, the writing and publishing represented by the entrants is truly outstanding, and it has been extremely difficult to choose some and exclude others. Winners were formally recognized on May 19th at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington D.C., as Jenkins Group presented "The Declaration of Independents: a Celebration of Excellence in Independent Publishing” sponsored by Adams Media, F&W Publications, Planned Television Arts, Mark Victor Hansen Associates, and Greenleaf Book Group, with additional support from Fidlar Doubleday, Desktop Miracles, BookMasters, Color House Graphics, Promote-a-Book and PRWeb. Also included are the Ten Outstanding Books of the Year and the Best Regional Fiction and Best Regional Non-Fiction award winners in each of ten North American regions. The IPPY Awards judging is complete, and here is the list of winners and finalists in all 60 national categories for this year’s Tenth Annual Independent Publisher Book Awards.
