Just days ago, we announced the three finalists in this year’s Outskirts Press Best Book of the Year awards.

All three finalists were 1st place winners of a 2022 CIPA EVVY Award, those annual awards sponsored by the Colorado Independent Publishers Association (CIPA) and the CIPA Education and Literacy Foundation (ELF). They were announced late last month and recognize some of the finest works of independent authors in dozens of book categories.

The time has come to vote on which of these talented authors have built an author platform and worked up the promotional muscle to acquire Outskirts Press’s top honors through a head-to-head competition! The Best Book of the Year Grand Prize winner and $1,500 Grand Prize winnings will be awarded based on the results of a live public poll . . . which is where you come in!

Our three finalists couldn’t be more different, and you’ll find summaries of each book below. So, study your choices, order their books, visit their webpages and social media, and cast your vote. Voting is easy! Simply scroll down to the poll below to place your vote for the book you think deserves our top honors in the 2022 Outskirts Press Best Book of the Year competition!
