What People Are Saying About BIBA

Testimonials for Best Indie Book award.

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.

A Caring and Personally Invested Awards Team

My experience with the BIBAยฎ has been entirely positive, and I will always be grateful for the waves of reader interest, industry attention, and media exposure that my win has generated for my recent book project. However, for me, the most important aspect of the judging and awards process was seeing how truly caring and personally invested the staff are, as evidenced by their consistent efforts to make the contest a pleasant, constructive, and rewarding experience for all participants involved. The BIBAยฎ teamโ€™s attentiveness to detail, their obvious appreciation for the work of independent authors, and their genuine desire to seek out and recognize excellence in the realm of independent publishing has made this contest a worldwide leader, and I am thus truly proud to have been selected as the winner of the 2024 BIBAยฎ in the Non-Fiction: History category.

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 readerโ€”and Iโ€™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.

“I believe in using awards as a marketing device to help readers have something more than a book cover or genre to select one book over the many published each year, each day.”
