book award competition

What is a book award?

Book awards are not only a wonderful honor, but for self-published and traditionally published books alike, they can help you grow your audience, attract new readers, increase your media attention, skyrocket your book sales and more.

Best of all, readers are attracted to award-winning books, so this accolade can help you stand out from the millions of other books out there.

No matter if you’re just starting as a first-time, self-published author, or you’ve established yourself as a USA Today or New York Times’ bestseller, a book award can help you at any stage of your career.

Why should I apply?

A book award is an asset you can use for the lifetime of your career as an author.

The Book Excellence Awards is an international book awards competition that recognizes books for their high quality design, writing and overall market appeal.

Previous Winners and Finalists have doubled their book sales, garnered attention from film producers, received distribution in book stores and increased their visibility and media attention.

To learn more about how successful Honorees have used their award to skyrocket their success, we encourage you to read our success stories, or view more reviews here.
