Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

VOTING IS OPEN UNTIL 11:59 PM, APRIL 15, 2013

The Indies Choice Book Awards and the E. B. White Read-Aloud Awards represent the types of books that indie booksellers champion best. In addition, the E. B. White Read-Aloud finalists reflect the playful, well-paced language, the engaging themes, and the universal appeal to a wide range of ages embodied by E. B. White’s collection of beloved books.

Every bookseller at an ABA member store is encouraged to vote; one ballot per person will be accepted. One winner will be declared in each category, with the exception of the Picture Book Hall of Fame, where booksellers will choose three inductees. The winners will be announced on April 18, 2013 and will be invited to take part in ABA’s Celebration of Bookselling Author Awards Luncheon at BookExpo America 2013 in New York City on May 30, 2013.

The finalists in the Indies Choice Book Awards categories of Adult Fiction, Adult Nonfiction, and Adult Debut were chosen by a jury of six ABA member booksellers from titles appearing on the Indie Next Lists in 2012.

A Children’s jury, composed of six members of the ABC Children’s Group at ABA, chose the finalists for the Indies Choice Book Award in the Young Adult category and for the E. B. White Read-Aloud Middle Reader and Picture Book Awards. Finalists were chosen from titles appearing on the Kids’ Indie Next Lists in 2012, with additional titles for the E. B. White awards nominated by ABC Group members.

To better reflect the intent of the award, beginning this year the category formerly called Most Engaging Author has been changed to the Indie Champion Award. Finalists for the Indie Champion award were chosen by both the Adult and Children’s juries.
