About the Australian Business Book Awards
ABOUT THE AWARDS
Writing and publishing a book is a powerful way for a businessperson to build their profile, promote their business and stand out from the crowd. Even today, with blogs, videos, Facebook and Twitter, a book provides an air of authority that sets a published author apart.
The Australian Business Book Awards recognise entrepreneurs, businesspeople and business owners who have written and published a book demonstrating their skill, knowledge and experience in their industry. These books allow authors to share their wisdom with current and potential clients, colleagues, and the general public. This is a rapidly growing area of publishing, and these awards recognise the very high quality of books published in this genre.
The awards are open to books that have been produced via a traditional publishing house, through partnership publishing or self-publishing, or any other publishing method that has resulted in a professional-standard book. Books can be entered into the following categories:
Entrepreneurship and Small Business
General Business
Health and Wellbeing
Leadership
Management and HR
Personal Development
Personal Finance and Investment
Specialist Business
All books are also automatically entered into Book of the Year.
Any profits are proudly donated to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.
Now in their eight year, the Australian Business Book Awards are run by Lesley Williams, Kate Toon, Andrew Griffiths and Michael Hanrahan, and are a not-for-profit venture. Entry fees are to cover the running of the competition. Any profits are donated to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation, a national book industry charity that aims to reduce the disadvantage experienced by children in remote Indigenous communities across Australia by lifting literacy levels and instilling a lifelong love of reading. So far, we have proudly donated over $70,000.
