What People Are Saying About BIBA

“Wonderful awards program that promotes important books and the authors who write them.”

“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!”

“If you’re an Indie author, check them out!!”

I can’t adequately express my gratitude for the honor of this win. As an independent author, standing out among others in my genre gives measurable value to the hard work involved in producing a novel. Thank you BiBA.

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.

“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!).”

“Thank you, Best Indie Book Award. I’m always so humbled by your relentless support of my efforts as a writer.”

Winning a Best Indie Book Award is one of my proudest moments as an author! BIBA is a class act all the way around. Thank you, BIBA!

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.

“Giving recognition to our country’s best literary talent! What could possibly be better than that?”

“This is my first time trying Indie Book Awards but with so many awards in the market, we did the research and found this to be one of the most recommended!”

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!
