FOREWORD BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD FINALISTS ANNOUNCED

ForeWord Magazine is pleased to announce the finalists in the eighth annual Book of the Year Awards.
These books represent some of the best work coming from today’s independent press community.

Nearly 1,400 books were entered in 59 categories. These were narrowed to 698 finalists, from 419 publishers.
The winners will be determined by a panel of librarians and booksellers, selected from our readership. ForeWord’s
Book of the Year Awards program was designed specifically for them to share in the process of discovering distinctive
books across a number of genres with judgments based on their own authority in each category and on their
patron/customer interests.

Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners, as well as Editor’s Choice Prizes for Fiction and Nonfiction will be announced at a
special program at BookExpo America at the Javits Center in New York City, June 1st from 2:30pm at LIVE@ Second
Stage located on the main show floor. The winners of the two Editor’s Choice Prizes will be awarded $1,500 each.
The ceremony is open to all BEA attendees.
