indiefab-foreword-boty-awardsForeword Reviews, a media company devoted to reviewing books from small, independent publishers and university presses, announced the finalists for its 18th annual IndieFab Book of the Year Awards. Christian publishers nominated for the awards include Brazos Press, Kregel Publications, InterVarsity Press and Abingdon Press.

Each year, Foreword Reviews shines a light on a select group of indie publishers, university presses and self-published authors whose work stands out from the crowd. In the next three months, a panel of more than 130 volunteer librarians and booksellers will determine the winners in 66 categories based on their experience with readers and patrons.

Victoria Sutherland, publisher of Foreword Reviews, explained the selection process.

“The 2015 IndieFab finalist selection process is as inspiring as it is rigorous,” Sutherland said. “The strength of this list of finalists is further proof that small, independent publishers are taking their rightful place as the new driving force of the entire publishing industry.”

Foreword Reviews will celebrate the winners during a program at the American Library Association Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida, in June. The company will also name the Editor’s Choice Prize 2015 for Fiction and Nonfiction and the 2015 IndieFab Publisher of the Year Award during the presentation.
