Keep Scrolling to vote for your Favorite Indie Books!

I’m super excited about the Picky Bookworm indie book awards. This year features all new categories, that my friends Dianna Gunn, Gabe Hargrave, and Eliza Stopps helped me come up with. They are not genre specific, so you can nominate any book for any category. Unfortunately, authors are unable to nominate their own books.

The schedule for the awards is as follows:

  • January 1 through February 15: Reader’s Choice Nominations. Authors, please encourage those who have read your book this year to nominate your book for any of the fun categories!
  • March 1 through April 15: Public Voting. Authors, you are allowed to vote once for your book, and please encourage your readers and fans to vote as well! You may vote only once during this period
  • April 20 through June 20: Official Judging of the top 3 books by our esteemed judges
  • June 30: WINNERS ANNOUNCED
