The Selfies Book Awards

Originally launched by BookBrunch in the UK in 2018, this exciting initiative uncovers new talent and rewards the very best self-published authors each year.  Sponsored by IngramSpark® and supported by the London Book Fair and Nielsen Book, these awards recognise self-publishing, one of the fastest growing parts of the book market.  In 2021, there are three categories of books being recognised in the UK: adult fiction; children’s books, memoir/autobiography.  For more details please see www.theselfies.co.uk.  The Selfies Book Awards U.S. were launched by BookBrunch, in association with Publishers Weekly/BookLife, in 2019, and in 2021 are rewarding indie publishers in two categories, adult fiction and children’s books.  For more details please see www.selfiesbookawards.com.
