“Choosing finalists for the INDIES is always the highlight of our year, but the job is very difficult due to the high quality of submissions,” said Victoria Sutherland, founder/publisher of Foreword Reviews. “Each new book award season proves again how independent publishers are the real innovators in the industry.”
“We’re honored that four of our titles have been selected as finalists,” said Mark C. Sedenquist, Publisher, Imbrifex Books. “This is our debut year, so recognition is especially sweet.”
