Rubery Book Award

The Rubery Book Award, open to all genres, has secured five high profile judges (including a Booker shortlisted author). There are 3 prizes and the winning book is guaranteed to be read by a top London literary agent.

The Book Award is for quality books published by independent publishers and for self published books. Publishers of these types often have very limited budgets. We do have an entry fee as we do have costs to cover, but this is more reasonable compared to a lot of prizes that request a substantial amount of money if a book is shortlisted. Self-published authors are also often excluded from awards. This is why we created the Rubery Book Award. There are some very good books being self published or published by independent presses and we want to reward these books.

Thanks
