This award is for independent authors and publishers; as well as big and small presses. New York City is synonymous with the global publishing industry; big book publishing houses have set the standard for decades. The publishing industry has become democratized and truly global. Now, everyone from big publishing houses to independent authors have the opportunity to create great books.
We want to help find the audiences these books were made for; and to celebrate the printed book in the town which makes authors superstars.
