The American Book Choice Award recognizes the best in independent literature or indie books. Since independent literature doesn’t seem to be recognized as much as mainstream literature this category is our away of recognizing the best in independent literature. We offer this award for the best books published outside of mainstream publishing. These are the books that offer a true artistic quality not always found in mainstream titles and keep their independence from corporate publishing. This award is for the best Indie books published today – they are the books that are not always heard of and seen on bestseller lists, but they are the books with a great literary quality not often seen in literature today. This award is given out to books in this category published within the last three years of the award year.
