Independent Book Authors Association

Here we go again!

We are happy to finally announce this years winners of the 2019 Independent Book Authors Association (IBAA) annual awards!
We had an amazing crop of talented writers apply for the awards this year and the judges had an incredibly hard time deciding the winners.
But have no fear, there are no losers this year, only winners! Because all applicants will be included in the 2019 IBAA Book Sampler and will be added to our authors distribution list. Wow!
It's a great time to be an independent author.

Without further ado, here are the winners of the IBAA 2019 Awards of Excellence.

Congrats to this years winners!!
We'd love to thank every independent author who took the time to apply to the 2019 IBAA Awards, we enjoyed all your work and hope that you try again next year. Keep sending us your $$$ and keep writing!

Note:
This whole thing is pure bullshit.
I'm just highlighting the hypocrisy of the unregulated self-publishing industry and the way people are scamming hard-working writers out of $$$ with promises of awards and distribution, when all you actually get for your money is a 'seal' or 'award' you can put on your books and you get your name on a list full of other authors no one has ever heard of.


Cheers,
Stud!o M!ke, The Hellhound, The Hellcat and Sweet Tito.
