Welcome to the Nonfiction Book Awards! As an extension of the Nonfiction Authors Association, we are committed to honoring excellence in nonfiction books and welcome submissions by self-published and traditionally published authors alike, in both print and ebook formats. Publishers are also welcome to submit books for award consideration.
About the Nonfiction Book Awards
Our program honors books year-round so you can submit your entry at any time.
Books are not judged against competing titles, but are reviewed by our judges based on a scoring system that evaluates the quality of the writing and production of the book (editing, design, and other details). A book may receive a bronze, silver or gold award based on the final evaluation score.
As with other reputable awards programs, not all books receive a Nonfiction Book Award. However, books that are well-written and professionally produced often qualify for a bronze, silver or gold award.
Winning a Nonfiction Book Award is like adding a seal of approval to your book. It tells readers and media professionals that you have a high quality book worth reading!
Nonfiction Book Award recipients receive the following:
- Beautiful award certificate mailed directly to you (or sent via email if outside of the U.S.).
- Digital award badge for display on your website.
- Your book featured with Book Award Winners on this site.
- Your book featured on the Nonfiction Book Club website.
- Your award announced in our monthly email newsletter.

- Our reviewers are encouraged to post their own reviews on various book sites, including Amazon, however we cannot guarantee any reviews will be posted.
