Judging is now completed for the 14th year of this competition and the results commend a wide range of truly exceptional titles.
The National Indie Excellence® Awards celebrate independent publishing as a strong and vital sector of our industry. Recognizing excellence in all aspects of the final presentation, NIEA champions self-publishers and the independent presses who produce the highest quality books across a spectrum of metrics.

Sponsorship awards and monetary prize awards are selected from the overall group of Winners and Finalists.
”This year’s entries continue an upward trend in high-quality publishing, even among first time or newer authors. The competition is intense. Indie Excellence® proudly celebrates the talent, dedication and love they put into the book product.”
