ForeWord INDIES Book of the Year Awards was established to bring increased attention from librarians and booksellers to the literary achievements of independent publishers and their authors.

The ForeWord award process is unique because a jury of their readers, librarians, and booksellers is used to select their top categories as well as choose the winning titles. In making award decisions, they take into consideration editorial excellence, professional production, narrative originality, author credentials, and the overall value the book adds to its target audience.
