Christian Small Publisher Book of the Year Award

2010 Nominations Now Being Accepted!

Christian Small Publisher Book of the Year honors books produced by small publishers each year for outstanding contribution to Christian life. Christian Small Publisher Book of the Year Award is designed to promote small publishers in the Christian marketplace as well as to bring recognition to outstanding Christian books from small publishers. Within the Christian marketplace there is no other award that is designed exclusively to bring attention to Christian titles from small publishers.

Christian Small Publishers Association is now accepting nominations of titles published in 2008 or 2009 for the award. Nominations are being accepted throughout the year with a deadline of November 15, 2009. To bring small publishers to the forefront of Christian book readers’ attention, CSPA will invite Christian book readers and retailers to vote on the books of their choice in February and March of 2010 to determine the winners. Retailers will also be encouraged to highlight the books they are voting for in their stores during Small Press Month of March.

Christian books in eight categories are eligible for this award. Books must be published by a small publisher with annual revenues of $350,000 or less. Nominated books must be Christian in nature and intended for the Christian marketplace. All nominated books must be printed in English and for sale in the United States. Any small publisher can nominate titles for the Christian Small Publisher Book of the Year Award.
