Children's Book Author, Stacy B. Davids, Honored in 2016 Indie Book Awards!
The picture book, ANNIE'S PLAID SHIRT, by author and psychologist, Stacy B. Davids, has been named by the Independent Book Publishing Professionals Group as one of the best indie books of 2016.
Stacy B. Davids’ book is a finalist of the picture book category in the 2016 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, the world’s largest not-for-profit book awards program for independent publishers and self-published authors.
The awards are judged by leaders of the indie book publishing industry, including many coming from long-standing careers with major publishing houses, to identify books that deserve to reach a wide audience.
“Our awards program is known as the ‘Sundance’ of the book publishing world,” says Catherine Goulet, Chair of the 2016 Next Generation Indie Book Awards program.
Independent book publishing companies are independent of the major conglomerates that dominate the book publishing industry. The indies include small presses, larger independent publishers, university presses, e-book publishers, and self-published authors.
According to Goulet, “Like other independent artists, many indie book publishers face challenges that the industry giants don't experience. The indies have to work much harder to get their best books into readers’ hands.”
"I'm thrilled that my book, ANNIE'S PLAID SHIRT, keeps winning awards," says author Stacy B. Davids. "The book hits on an issue that all children need to know - It's important to be yourself, even in the face of adversity."
