What People Are Saying About BIBA

Testimonials for Best Indie Book award.

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!”

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.

“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.”

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.
