2010 Next Generation Indie Book Award Winners Announced

Posted on May 30, 2010

The Independent Book Publishing Professionals Group has named the winners of the 2010 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. The non-profit awards program was created to identify indie books that deserve to reach a wider audience. The winning nonfiction title, American Idle, discusses our modern sedentary culture. We love how it features a comfy chair on the cover and how the clever title reference a popular reality TV show.
