Can older books be entered in your competitions?
Absolutely, don’t let your older books be forgotten. Provide your books older than 4 years with a fresh opportunity to shine by entering them into one of our Legacy categories. This allows your previously published works to be considered for recognition and awards, giving them a chance to find new audiences and appreciation. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate the enduring value of your literary creations.
Are unpublished manuscripts and books that aren’t yet published allowed in your competitions?
Indeed, the LGBAs and LGCBAs welcome unpublished manuscripts and entries that have not yet been published for award consideration. This provides aspiring authors and emerging voices with an excellent opportunity to gain recognition and validation for their literary works, even before they are officially published. It’s a testament to our commitment to fostering and celebrating the growth of new talent in the literary world. Please note, The Indie Author Excellence Awards (IAEA) does not allow entry of unpublished manuscripts.

How can you keep your entry fees so low?
We are committed to fostering an inclusive award competition. This commitment entails ensuring that every author enjoys an equitable opportunity to have their work acknowledged on a significant platform. While there are various expenses associated with administering our competitions, including judging fees, marketing and advertising expenditures, website maintenance, and more, this is why we have a nominal fee.

Our dedication lies in nurturing an all-encompassing award competition. This commitment involves guaranteeing that each author is provided with an equal opportunity to have their literary contributions acknowledged on a prominent stage.
