Announcing the 16th annual Independent Publisher Book Awards, honoring the year’s best independently published titles. We’ll accept entries until March 15th, 2012 for books with 2011 and 2012 copyrights or that are released in 2011 or early 2012.

Early-bird entry incentives are available — enter today!

The “IPPY” Awards were conceived as a broad-based, unaffiliated awards program open to all members of the independent publishing industry, and are open to authors and publishers worldwide who produce books written in English and intended for the North American market. We define “independent” as 1) independently owned and operated; 2) operated by a foundation or university; or 3) long-time independents that became incorporated but operate autonomously and publish fewer than 50 titles a year.

Thanks and good luck to all participants!
