The Reading the West Book Awards honor indie booksellers' favorite books for adults and children set in one of the MPIBA member states, or created by an author or artist living in the region. The awards celebrate the literary spirit of the west and the rich variety of writing in and about our region, and reflect the extraordinary diversity of our reading public.

This extraordinary marketing opportunity allows publishers to spotlight their deserving regional titles and offers a ready-to-use marketing program for indie bookstores to sell more books!
