2023 BIBA Winners Announcement<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s time!\u00a0 We are happy to announce the winners for the 2023 Best Indie Book Award competition. Remember, if you are not on this year\u2019s list, it doesn\u2019t mean you cannot be a winner.\u00a0 Many authors over the years have been edged out of winner status one year only to win in a subsequent year with the same book. Judging a contest is complex, time-consuming, and sometimes mind-numbing. It\u2019s difficult to impart just how hard this team works. Our purpose is to better Indie authors and to award excellence in writing, and we do that to the best of our ability, but there are only so many winner slots per year. We had so many outstanding books this year, particularly in the non-fiction categories; Indie authors really crafted some amazing work.\u00a0 The competition gets fiercer every year, and we remain dedicated to our goals. We appreciate everyone who took this journey with us, as our goals merge and we create a winning status that your readers can rely on.<\/p>\n
