Recognizing excellence in all aspects of the final presentation, NIEA champions self-publishers and the independent presses who produce the highest quality books across a spectrum of metrics. Winners and Finalists are determined on the basis of superior written matter coupled with excellent presentation in every facet of the final published product.
