Welcome to The 2022 American Fiction Awards! Sponsored by American Book Fest based in Los Angeles & Phoenix
The 5th Annual American Fiction Awards (AFA) are a new specialty book awards focused on honoring excellence in FICTION.
The publishing industry is rapidly evolving.
A printed book is no longer just a printed book.
Fiction books have the potential to be turned into interactive e-books, television and movie programs, video games, graphic novels, web series, and so much more.
You’ve put tremendous time and energy into your work. Make sure you give your book the best shot at success on all levels.
We Pick Winners! AFA was created by the same team that launched the “Best Book Awards” 19 years ago. Hundreds of titles have received national media coverage and increased sales as a direct result of placing in our existing book award programs (Best Book Awards & International Book Awards)! Many titles that have placed in our other award programs have gone on to place in other contests geared toward the independent press.
Extensive Social Media Coverage! Our Facebook pages have over 134,000 book lovers! Our posts routinely go viral with millions of views.
History of Excellence! Over the last 19 years we have featured over twenty thousand books from mainstream, indie and self-publishers. We will continue to promote books to the national and international book buying public!
WINNERS & FINALISTS IN EACH CATEGORY RECEIVE:
Results Announced on American Book Fest's Social Media Pages (134,000+ Fans/Friends)
