What People Are Saying About BIBA

Testimonials for Best Indie Book award.

Highly Recommended

“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.”

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 BIBA® 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 BIBA® team’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 BIBA® in the Non-Fiction: History category.

A great outlet for independent authors

Writing a book as an independent author is hard, particularly if it’s your first book and writing is not your main job! The Best Indie Book Awards is a great way for independent authors to be noticed, get their message to a wider audience and receive the recognition they deserve.
