Please don’t forget to submit your book in for consideration to the Axiom Business Book Awards. I’m proud to say I’ve had many past clients submit and then win the award and I hope you’ll submit your book as well!
P.S. (Do it yourself so you’ll know it gets done. Don’t wait for your publisher to do it, and if you’re self-published send it in now! Early entry deadline is November 7th.)
Past Client Wins:
2008 Wins:
7. Human Resources/Employee Training
Silver: Growing Great Employees, by Erika Andersen (Portfolio/Penguin Group)
17. Advertising/Marketing/PR/Event Planning
Gold (tie): Beyond Buzz: The Next Generation of Word-of-Mouth Marketing, by Lois Kelly (Amacom)
2009 Wins:
22. Business Fable
Silver: Awake at the Wheel: Getting Your Great Ideas Rolling (in an Uphill World), by Mitchell Lewis Ditkoff (Morgan James Publishing)
*Note: Seth Godin has won an award two years in a row. Let’s all chant, “What’s good enough for Seth to apply to is good enough for us to apply to.”
If that doesn’t inspire you then perhaps chanting this quote from Stuart Smalley will do the trick,”I deserve good things, I am entitled to my share of happiness. I refuse to beat myself up. I am an attractive person. I am fun to be with.” (And my business book is award-winning!)

Hi Nettie,
I applied for this, but am wondering how to find out about other good awards programs. You just have the first, maybe second, year after publishing to apply, so I don’t want to miss any. Are there any sites that list awards programs?
Thanks!
Hi Casey,
There are sites for fiction/literature but not one that I know of for business book awards. But you should also see if your book can still be up for an IPPYAward or a USABOOKnews.com award – you might still be able to meet the deadline for those too.
Thanks Nettie! I applied for IPPY but haven’t heard of the other. Will check it out.
