Outskirts Press Writer's Digest Self Published Book Awards


In the past, simply having a published book was indicative of high-quality content.  Now that self-publishing is available to everyone, winning a book award is one of the most powerful and effective ways to make your book stand above the crowd. Award-winning authors can leverage the promotional power of this status to increase online recognition, enhance their book's credibility and gain increased attention in the crowded book buying marketplace.

With so many book awards and contests available, Outskirts Press has vetted the top contests for you and the Next Generation Indie Book Awards makes our list every year.  This contest is one of 6 awards contests that Outskirts Press has vetted and it is also available at part of our Book Award Submissions bundle (which is discounted 15%).

To help indie authors make important connections, the top 80 books in the Indie Book Awards will be reviewed by New York literary agent Marilyn Allen of Allen Literary Agency for possible representation to publishers or representation in areas such as distribution, foreign rights, film rights, and other rights.
