NAUTILUS BOOK AWARDS ANNOUNCES
A New Category and Season Opens in Six Days
Nautilus’ 19th SEASON of celebrating and promoting Better Books for a Better World will open on Wed, September 21, 2016. You can view the entry form on their website: Nautilus.
THEY HAVE A NEW CATEGORY
This category places particular attention on development of the USA during the coming decade. Here is the category description for your reference, in case you know an author whose book might fit this area:
USA Spiritual Growth and Development
Beyond all differing views of cultural, political, religious, and economic issues of today, a deep seed of wholeness is emerging through the USA as an integral microcosm of humanity. Books in this category express various perspectives on our possible and positive futures between now and year 2030, as the USA crosses a major threshold; through these books, we consider how our intentions, individually and collectively, can help navigate the challenges and birth “a more perfect union”.
Reminder that books published during either 2015 or 2016 are eligible for entry in this season’s program.
For questions, contact Mary Belknap, Director, at mbelknap@nautilusbookawards.com

One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.
We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.
Do join us!
—Becky Parker Geist, BAIPA Board of Directors, President
