Overview

The Indieverse Awards is a grassroots, indie author run awards program! We celebrate both self published & small press indie authors. More than that, we love and are so proud of diverse authors & stories. You will find a big range of books written by women authors, LGBTQ+ authors, BIPOC authors, Neurodivergent authors, authors with disabilities & so on.  On top of that you'll see categories regarding mental health, body positivity, our storytelling and so on.  We are proud of indie books with representation & our indie authors who write them. 

We don't just celebrate authors - we celebrate the universe that brings our books to life like editors, artists, book media, voice actors & more! Because at the end of the day, we need the whole indie community to rally behind indie authors & the important books they're writing. 

The full list of nominated titles has been announced! Check out the list at: www.indieverseawards.com
