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!).”

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!

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!

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.

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!”
