Indie booksellers, it’s almost time to cast your votes! 🎉

The return this fall, and we’re counting on indie booksellers across the country to help celebrate the titles that stood out most this year.

Voting opens October 14! Be on the lookout for your chance to weigh in on the books you loved, hand-sold, and can’t stop recommending to readers.

Indie booksellers who participate in both rounds of voting will also be entered for a chance to win a waived registration to Winter Institute 2027.
