Welcome to the Nonfiction Book Awards!

Please review these important details.

  • Upon completion of payment, you will be taken to the book award application form. This must be filled out in order to proceed with reviewing your book submission.
  • The book review process typically takes 12 weeks or less to complete. You will be notified of award status within this time frame.
  • We use Book Funnel to securely share book submissions with our reviewers. If you prefer NOT to share digital copies of your book, see the option below to choose physical copies. We will drop-ship them from Amazon or another provider of your choice.
  • Three volunteer book reviewers will evaluate and rate a variety of elements related to your book. Those scores are tallied and then averaged to determine award eligibility.
  • Not all books receive an award, though more do than don’t! We believe this speaks to the high quality of the award applications we receive. 

If you receive an award, your book will be featured:

  • On the Nonfiction Authors Association website with other Book Award Winners
  • In our monthly newsletter
  • On our social media accounts
  • On our sister site: NonfictionBookClub.com.

You will be provided with:

  • A frame-worthy, gold foil certificate. (Mailed to US participants; a digital copy is sent to international winners.)
  • A digital image you can share on your website and social media.
  • A digital award seal. (Physical award seals can be purchased separately.)

I just wanted to tell you how much I value all that you are doing with NFAA. It is one of the best investments in a membership I have ever made. I have been listening to your webinars and taking copious notes during them. One of my favorites was Revenue Stream for Authors. I am using it as a checklist for the many ways I can promote my book. It helps keep me focused. Being a first-time author was daunting enough. I didn’t realize how much time and effort it takes to promote a self-published book. NFAA has given me the tools for structuring that process. I would recommend NFAA to both the novice and seasoned author. ” – David Petrovay, PhD, Author of Life Between Jobs: Out of Work…Not Out of WORTH
