The NEW BOOK AWARDS is becoming the signature independent industry awards recognition program honoring the latest literary works in multiple genres. What makes us unique is that we are 100% independent. We do not take paid sponsorship or ad money. We are NOT affiliated with any one trade group, product, publisher, trade show or association. All publishers and authors including indie press are welcome to enter. Our award determinations are not skewed into singling out 'best of' a single category characteristic or insider industry favoritism. Instead, reviews and finalist judging are based on individual merit, scoring based on ratings inherent of the qualities that made you come to our attention as a recently published book with the added effort of the book's author makes for their own titles. Merits towards an award will vary and result from bookstores, reviewers, bloggers and other assorted contributors your entry effort encounters. We are very excited and pleased with the fair plus extra involved judging process.
