Announcing the 2026 Digital Book Nook Book Awards Program!
For nearly 12 years, Digital Book Nook has been a trusted platform for promoting and celebrating the work of self-published authors. With over 1,000 book reviews and spotlights to date, we have proudly highlighted the creativity, passion, and determination of authors who have chosen the independent route to publishing. Now, we’re taking it a step further!
We are excited to introduce the Digital Book Nook Book Awards Program, designed to celebrate the exceptional talent of self-published authors whose work often goes overlooked by the traditional publishing industry. Winners will be published in the June 30th publication, on social media, and the Digital Book Nook website. The entry form closes on May 30th 2026. Enter today!
Why the Digital Book Nook Book Awards?
The self-publishing industry is home to a wealth of talent, but these voices often don’t receive the recognition they deserve. At Digital Book Nook, we believe in shining a spotlight on these gifted authors. Our new awards program aims to:
- Celebrate Excellence in Self-Publishing: We want to acknowledge and reward the outstanding achievements of self-published authors across all genres, giving their work the attention it truly deserves.
- Focus on Ebooks: As the popularity of digital reading devices continues to grow, we are particularly excited to highlight ebook publications. This will help readers who prefer digital formats discover award-winning books that stand out in the vast world of indie publishing.
What to Expect
The Digital Book Nook Book Awards will feature multiple categories, with a focus on ebooks to make sure our digital readers don’t miss out on the best indie literature out there. From fiction and nonfiction to children’s books and poetry, we’ll be recognizing the best in self-publishing and bringing award-winning books to a wider audience.
Winners will receive:
- Featured book reviews and spotlights on our website and social media.
- A special Digital Book Nook Book Award seal to showcase their accomplishment.
- Exclusive interviews and promotional opportunities to help boost visibility.

We are thrilled to continue supporting and celebrating the self-publishing community with this exciting new awards program. Stay tuned for more information. We can’t wait to recognize the incredible work of independent authors around the world!
