Open to independent authors and publishers globally, the awards aim to celebrate and bring recognition to the exceptional independent, university, and self-published books released each year for an English-speaking audience.
Since their inception, the IPPY Awards have honored over 6,000 titles, bestowing recognition and credibility on their recipients. The awards celebrate those who demonstrate the courage, innovation, and creativity needed to impact the publishing world. Publishers of all sizes and budgets are acknowledged, and books are judged accordingly. Winners receive gold, silver, and bronze medals across national subject categories, regional categories, and e-book categories.
