The Next Generation Indie Book Awards® was established to recognize and honor the most exceptional independently published books in 60 different categories. In cooperation with Marilyn Allen of Allen O’Shea Literary Agency, the Awards are presented by Independent Book Publishing Professionals Group (IBPPG), an organization that promotes professional standards in independent book publishing. Members of IBPPG include small and university presses, self-published authors, agents, designers, distributors, printers, and marketing professionals.
“This book carries such an important message,” says Bence, “so I couldn’t be happier that it has been recognized by the Next Generation awards. Especially today, College Graduates need effective ways to cut through the pool of other candidates to become the ‘brand of choice’ for potential employers.”
