Independent Ebook Awards

The Independent Ebook Awards were designed to recognize and reward talent in electronic books and digital storytelling from authors with independent publishers and self-published authors. The awards were created in September of 2000 as the result of a collaboration between Sunny Ross, founder and executive director of the Digital Literature Institute and editor-in-chief of Mystic-Ink, one of the first online communities for readers and writers, and M. J. Rose, author of Lip Service, the first ebook discovered online by the mainstream publishing industry.

Note: The Independent Ebook Awards appear to have ceased.
