More chances to win

As noted recently, we have hit the book awards season. Hot on the heels of the news that our books had received winner’s and runner-up medals in the Indie Excellence Book Awards comes the news that we have two more imminent chances to win prestigious book awards.

Cowboy Life: The Letters of George Philips is a finalist in the autobiography/biography/memoirs category of the Benjamin Franklin Awards as presented by PMA the Independent Book Publishers Association. We’ll be attending an awards ceremony at the BookExpo America in Los Angeles to find out if Cowboy Life has won.

The Sioux in South Dakota History also placed as a finalist, but this time in the IPPY Awards presented by Independent Publisher Magazine, in the anthologies category. The IPPYs also have a gala awards ceremony tying into the BookExpo America and so we’ll be there as well (the day after the Benjamin Franklins) to see if this book wins.

Regardless of whether we eventually receive the winner’s medals or not, to have two books make it to the finalist list in these highly regarded awards is a great honor.
