The Change Artist wins an Indie Excellence Finalist award No comments yet

Beverly Hills, CA (May 18, 2009) –The 2009 National Indie Excellence Award Winners & Finalists have been selected. The contest recognizes small to mid-sized presses and independent and self-publishers who are emerging as a significant force in the book-publishing world. Their work is making up a greater percentage of the total marketplace than ever before; their messages are resonating with more people every year and they represent a new generation of writers who are finding their voices. The Indie Excellence Awards seeks to do for independent books what the Sundance Institute has done for independent films.

The competition is judged by an independent panel of experts from all aspects of the publishing industry. The awards are based on overall excellence: cover and interior design, promotional text, and content. From the largest slate of entries in its 3-year history, the 2009 National Indie Excellence Award recipients have now been selected. The full list is available online at www.indieexcellence.com.
