EVERY AUTHOR GETS A VERDICT BLURB FROM OUR PROFESSIONAL REVIEWERS
Every author who enters a title in the 2023 IR Discovery Awards will receive a verdict, written by an IndieReader reviewer and based on their assessment after reading the complete book.
The verdict (should it be positive) is a great way to add credibility to your book as promotional copy or a blurb.

*Our team enters verdicts on a rolling basis as our reviewers and judges complete them.
IT ISN’T ALL ABOUT THE TROPHY!
Stand With The Best
The IR Discovery Awards seek to find the best of the best. Every book is read by an IR Pro reviewer and judged on its own merit. Only if it receives a 4+ rating does it go on to be read by one of our judges.
Read By People Who Matter
Every year the judges for the IRDAs include publishing pros--from journalists and reviewers to editors and PR pros--who will read through the entries to determine the winners.
Get Discovered
According to the latest Bowker stats there were nearly 1.7 million books self-published in 2018. That’s a lot of company (and competition!) for any author. An IRDA win and/or a positive blurb will help set your title apart from the rest, increasing your book’s chance for discoverability.
WHAT AUTHORS ARE SAYING ABOUT INDIEREADER DISCOVERY AWARDS
Joe Cottonwood
Author of the Discovery Award-winner 99 Jobs
“I’d like to say THANK YOU and give a big (virtual) bear hug to you and IndieReader for selecting 99 JOBS for the Discovery Award, for the 9 Summer Reads, and now thanks to the award I’ve got a starred review from Kirkus!”
Jack Mayer
Author of the Discovery Award-winning Life in a Jar and Before the Court of Heaven
“My first Indie book, Life In a Jar received a 5-star IndieReader Review and won the 2012 IndieReader Discovery Award for Biography. My book also garnered 8 other book awards, but the only sticker I apply to book covers is the IndieReader Discovery Award, knowing that it represents and supports the very highest ideals of the indie publishing community.”
