Unlike other award programs that give little attention to independent and academic presses, ForeWord’s Book of the Year program is solely focused on books from the smaller publishing houses. ForeWord’s judging is unique in that winners are selected by booksellers and librarians after the initial entries are narrowed down to twelve finalists by the magazine’s editors. The books are judged by the same criteria these trade experts use in their own acquisition process: editorial excellence, professional production, originality of the narrative, topic timeliness, author credentials, and the value the book adds to its subject matter. Their decisions affirm ForeWord’s belief that “great books do come from independent voices.”
