RECOGNIZING INDEPENDENT AUTHORS

A Literary Awards Program for Independently Published Books

The Reader Views Literary Awards were established to recognize writers who self-publish or work with independent publishing companies, with awards presented across fiction and nonfiction categories.

Entries are evaluated by Reader Views reviewers, with judging considering factors such as content and originality, presentation and design, innovation, social relevance, and production quality.
