The Selfies Book Awards were set up in 2018 by book trade journal BookBrunch to recognise and reward the fantastic work being done by the many highly professional self-published authors working in the UK today. Sponsored by IngramSpark, and supported by the London Book Fair, Nielsen BookData and LitPR, this initiative aims to discover new talent and reward the very best self-published titles each year.
We are delighted to announce that the winners for this year’s Selfies Book Awards are Jason Mann (adult fiction), Karen Inglis (children’s books) and Sheila Brill (general non-fiction); for full details please see here. Winners were announced at a packed session in Author HQ at the London Book Fair on 11th March, followed by a reception.
