What People Are Saying About BIBA

Testimonials for Best Indie Book award.

Best Indie Book Award (BIBA) fills a necessary literary gap.

“We live in a time when reading is less popular than scrolling. Thank you, BIBA, for reminding the world that personal growth is impossible without books (and has been for centuries!).”

A Truly Awesome Experience!

I wanted to (once again) express my gratitude to the entire BIBA team for winning one of last year’s Best Indie Book Awards for my last collection Miserable Adventure Stories. I think it’s highly likely that last year’s award caught Skyhorse’s attention and moved them to offer me a book deal for the series. And for that, I am extremely grateful to BIBA!
Good luck with this year’s candidates! It was a truly awesome experience being one of last year’s winners!

BIBA Award Amplifies Credibility and Reader Impact

After Triple Win Leadership Coaching reached #1 bestseller on Amazon, receiving recognition from the Best Indie Book Awards (BIBA) gave the book an additional boost in visibility and credibility. BIBA is a meaningful award program that honors quality work and helps the right books reach more readers. As an author, I value recognition that ultimately serves the reader—and I’m grateful to be part of an awards community that champions books that truly add value.

Thank you for such a great honor!

I want to thank BIBA for honoring my book, Catching Memories with their award for Motivational Children’s Book. It is greatly appreciated, and I hope I can share my story with many others. Since it is a true story, with a message of kindness and treasuring special moments in life, everyone would enjoy reading it. BIBA helps authors, like me, receive recognition and hopefully more readers.

An ally for indie authors

It can be challenging as a debut indie author. First you have the hurdle of publishing, then publicity and marketing. Unless you have a huge budget or are well known, getting out there can be hard. BIBA is a great way to put some eyes on your hard work, I’m grateful for the support.

Thanks, BIBA!

I’m honored to receive the 2023 Best Indie Book Award for best short story collection. It’s difficult to succeed as an independently published author, and this award is a validation for all of the time and effort that each of the winners put into their books. Thank you, BIBA for the recognition!
