Who has won an International Book Award or Best Book Award?
Below, we have featured authors who are either established or who were honored early in their careers by the International Book Awards or Best Book Awards (our sister award program) before they went on to massive success within the publishing industry. Laureate books were entered by the author, their agent, or their publishing house at the time. All historical results for both award programs can be found on the award archive links below.
“It is amazing to review the results that our award programs have had over the last several decades. Here are some of the more famous laureates who have been honored. We will continue to highlight self-published, indie, and mainstream titles now and in the future!” –American Book Fest
