Of Our Dedication Towards Our Work

The Axiom Business Book Awards, with 22 different categories of awards, are designed to bring increased recognition to the year’s very best business books and their creators.

The awards were established in 2007 with the goal of celebrating the innovative, intelligent, and creative aspects of the books that make us think, see, and work differently every day. The awards offer no global boundaries, giving participants from every continent the opportunity to earn further recognition for their English-language titles.

Established in 2009, the eLit Awards celebrate the ever growing market of electronic publishing in the wide variety of reader formats. Hail the revolutionary world of e-books and join the awards program that’s highlighting the best in electronic reading entertainment!

The annual eLit Awards are a global awards program committed to illuminating and honoring the very best of English language digital publishing entertainment.

With the motto “Shining a Light on Exemplary Christian Books,” the Illumination Book Awards are designed to honor the year’s best new titles written and published with a Christian worldview. Books have always been powerful tools for helping us understand Scripture and to explore various aspects of faith in a complicated world. How does one choose the “winners” from the huge array of new titles released each year? Started in 2013, the Illumination Book Awards are designed to “shine a light” on the best of these new titles.

Award categories range from Bible Study and Devotional to family-oriented subjects like Education and Children’s Picture Book. The purpose of the Illumination Book Awards is to bring award-winning authors and publishers the credibility and publicity they need to increase sales and further their book marketing success.

Established in 1996, the Independent Publisher Book Awards are conducted annually to honor the year's best independently published titles. The "IPPY" Awards reward those who exhibit the courage, innovation, and creativity to bring about change in the world of publishing. Independent spirit and expertise comes from publishers of all sizes and budgets, and books are judged with that in mind.

All independent, university, small press, and self-publishers who produce books intended for the North American market are eligible to enter titles copyrighted or released within the year. Independent authors using print-on-demand publishing services are welcome to enter their books themselves. Entrants are able to choose from over 75 subjects in national categories; regional awards for the United States, Australia, Canada, and Europe; and e-book categories.

Life moves fast. Home and work, family and friends, school and vacations, exercise and hobbies. It's time to celebrate YOU, the authors and publishers who create the books that help us balance it all!

Established in 2008, the Living Now Book Awards is the only awards program recognizing life's most relevant book genres in a variety of different categories. Candidates for the Living Now Book Awards are books written and designed to help shape our lives through creative ideas and time-saving tips.

The awards offer entrants incredible benefits including a springboard toward increased recognition and sales along with sustainable credibility within the ever-growing marketplace of great titles.

The American Book Foundation was established in 2009 to administer and enhance the Book Awards and "move beyond [them] into the fields of education and literacy", primarily by sponsoring public appearances by writers. Its mission is "to celebrate the best of American literature, to expand its audience, and to enhance the cultural value of good writing in America." In addition, ABW will recommend the manuscript for publication worldwide with an appropriate press. Publishing in United States is strongly encouraged.
