2025 IPPY Awards
Celebrating Excellence in Independent Publishing Since 1996
The Independent Publisher (IPPY) Book Awards honor the year’s best independently published books across over 100 categories. From fiction and memoirs to children's books, cookbooks, and regional titles, the IPPYs spotlight outstanding books that exemplify creativity, quality, and independent spirit. With such a wide range of categories, there's truly a category for every book.
Submissions for the 2025 awards are open to independent publishers, university presses, self-published authors, and independent creators across North America—as well as overseas publishers producing books for English-speaking audiences. All entries must be finished books, submitted in either print or eBook format.
