Testimonials for Best Indie Book award.

Testimonial for the Best Indie Book Award

It’s with immense gratitude that I pen down my appreciation for the team at Best Indie Book Award. The relentless support and promotion of my book have been beyond exceptional.

The spotlighting of indie authors has been incredible. The frequent features on both BIBA’s Facebook page and Instagram channel have not only given my book visibility but have also connected me with a wider audience of passionate readers.

Winning the 2023 Best Indie Book Award was an unexpected surprise and a deeply fulfilling moment in my writing journey. The recognition has added a layer of validation to the countless hours spent crafting each word and refining the techniques shared in “Breaking Through: The Secrets of Bassai Dai Kata.”

To the entire Best Indie Book Award team, thank you for championing independent voices in the literary world. Your commitment to celebrating diverse narratives is truly making a difference.

I may not have been a winner in the 2024 Award competition, but I am completely satisfied with the process and the communication.
I feel encouraged to have known that my book, Power Your Vision, made Round 4.
Thank you for the feedback.
See you in 2025 🙂

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.

Definitely worth entering!

Even though I didn’t actually win, the feedback I got was a very pleasant surprise. I didn’t realize I would get an in depth review of what was great and what could be improved about my book. That alone was worth the entry fee and I will be entering more books in the future!

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.

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!

Highly Recommended

“I was honored to win the 2017 Children’s Award, and ever since then BIBA has done an excellent job of maintaining a connection and supporting me (and all other) authors in incredible ways. They constantly retweet my big announcements and work and help to get the word out about most things that I do! I’m not sure if this is typical of indie book awards, but regardless it is incredibly supportive and kind. Highly recommend them for their support of indie authors!”

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.
