Call for Entries – 2009 Independent Publisher Book Awards now open!

Announcing the 13th annual Independent Publisher Book Awards, honoring the year's best independently published titles. We’ll accept entries until March 21st, 2009 for books with 2008 copyrights or that were released in 2009.

No fee increases this year! Early-bird entry incentives 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!
