The Selfies Book Awards
The Selfies Book Awards were set up in 2018 by book trade journal BookBrunch to recognise and reward the fantastic work being done by the many highly professional self-published authors working internationally. All entries need to be English Language only. Sponsored by IngramSpark, and supported by Nielsen BookData, Alli, LitPR, The Combined Book Exhibit and New Generation Publishing, this initiative aims to discover new talent and reward the very best self-published titles each year.
The 2026 awards are now open for entries. Please visit the Submissions page for more information.
