IPPY (Independent Publisher Book Awards)
Every year since 1996, the Independent Publisher Book Awards have celebrated the best independently published titles from around the globe. Their mission is to shine a spotlight on the thousands of outstanding independent, university, and self-published books that hit the shelves each year.
The “IPPY” Awards were created as a welcoming, unaffiliated program open to all members of the independent publishing community. Authors and publishers worldwide submit their English-language works that resonate with today’s readers.
