AmericanBookFest.com was launched in 2014 with the intention of becoming not only an online presence but eventually offering workshops and live events throughout the United States. American Book Fest is now the main sponsor of our family of book award contests and publishing related websites. And, as the name implies, we celebrate the written word in all genres, fiction and non-fiction.

Companies grow, evolve and transform over time. For our first decade, we were known as USA Book News. In 2014, we were able to acquire the American Book Fest name. Today, our American Book Fest brand better encapsulates what we do…celebrate the written word, rather than simply reporting on book releases. This move has broadened our media reach, increased concentrated traffic to our award results and continues to allow us to highlight the thousands of titles listed on AmericanBookFest.com!

American Book Fest is here to stay for decades to come. Join us as we continue to honor, promote and feature self-published, independent, and mainstream titles!

E-mail AMERICAN BOOK FEST



"Hey! Where is your phone number?"
 
"During the recession, having a 1-800 number and a full-time employee to staff the phone was an expense I decided to cut. Also, it was easier to receive e-mails from international authors and publishers rather than figuring out international time zones to call them back (12 midnight in Los Angeles is 8am in London, etc.) Any author or publisher that wishes to talk via phone is more than welcome to make an appointment with us via e-mail.”
—Jeffrey Keen, American Book Fest, President & CEO
