CHARLOTTE, Feb. 8 /
Christian Newswire/ -- All Christian book readers are invited to vote for the 2010 Christian Small Publisher Book of the Year Award. Although small publishers are often less well known than larger publishing houses, they produce fresh and innovative books to inspire readers or fill niche needs. The Christian Small Publisher Book of the Year award honors books produced by small publishers for outstanding contribution to Christian life.
The Christian Small Publisher Book of the Year Award is offered for books in each of eight categories: Fiction, Biography, Christian Living, Relationships/Family, Bible Study/Theology, Children's Book 4-8 years, Children's Book 8-12 years, and Young Adult (12+ years). The winners of this award are determined solely by the votes of Christian retailers and book lovers alike.
Christian retailers are invited to also vote for the Christian Small Publisher Book of the Year Award. In honor of Small Press Month, Christian retailers are encouraged to highlight the books they vote for in their stores during the month of March.
The winners of the 2010 Christian Small Publisher Book of the Year Award will be announced on April 15, 2010.
The Christian Small Publisher Book of the Year Award is sponsored by Christian Small Publishers Association (CSPA). Established in 2004, CSPA was created to represent and promote small publishers in the Christian marketplace. The organization represents over 70 small publishers producing materials for the Christian marketplace.
