Alberta Emerging Publisher of the Year Award

The Alberta Emerging Publisher of the Year Award honours an emerging publisher in Alberta who shows promise in book publishing.

Ben Franklin Award

Named in honor of America's most cherished publisher/printer, the Benjamin Franklin Award recognizes excellence in independent publishing. Publications, grouped by genre are judged on editorial and design merit by top practitioners in each field. The trophies are awarded to the best books in several categories and are presented to the publishers during a gala awards ceremony on the last evening of the Publishing University (just before the opening of Book Expo America). All entrants receive critique sheets with advice on how to improve their publications, as well as words of appreciation for the good work produced.

Book of the Year Award

ForeWord Magazine's Book of the Year Award was established to bring increased attention from librarians and booksellers to the literary achievements of independent publishers and their authors. A jury of librarians, booksellers and reviewers are selected to judge the categories for entry, and they select winners and finalists based on editorial excellence and professional production as well as the originality of the narrative and the value the book adds to its genre.

Sunburst Award

The Sunburst Award for Canadian Literature of the Fantastic is a prized and juried award. Based on excellence of writing, it will be presented annually to a Canadian writer who has had published a speculative fiction novel or book-length collection of speculative fiction any time during the previous calendar year.
