Have you written a non-fiction business book that deserves recognition? SABEW’s Best in Business Book Awards will open for entries on Monday, July 8.
SABEW’s fifth annual Best in Business Book Awards will have three categories for entry:
- Business Reporting: Books in this category must be nonfiction works about companies, business topics, business leaders, markets, economics, or labor. This category focuses on works of long-form narrative, history, biography, or analysis. Judges are looking for the quality of the writing and reporting, the craft and power of the storytelling, and the book’s impact and importance within its particular field.
- Career and Financial Development (…previously Investing & Personal Finance): Books in this category must be nonfiction works offering insight, analysis, or explanation of ideas, strategies, or trends in career development or investing and personal finance. These are typically works of service journalism that are useful to individuals, covering topics such as personal productivity, creativity, communication, negotiation, work-life balance, personal growth, career satisfaction, money management, and investment strategies.
- Management and Leadership: Books in this category must be nonfiction works about the methods and practice of organizational management and/or corporate leadership. This category includes works that are analytical, instructional, prescriptive, or inspirational. Judges are looking for the quality of the writing and reporting, the originality and persuasiveness of the ideas, and the book’s impact and importance within its particular field.
Books published from August 1, 2023, through July 31, 2024 will be eligible for entry.
The winning authors from each category will be recognized by SABEW and awarded a $1,000 cash prize, and two finalists from each category will receive $500. The winners and finalists will be announced in November.
