We’ve just wrapped up another amazing Readers Choice Awards Contest, and we’re so excited to finally announce the winners for 2022!

Why We Started This Book Awards Contest

Here at TCK Publishing, we think what authors do is amazing and we want to celebrate writers everywhere.

And if you’re familiar with our blog, you know we also love to support readers. After all, readers are the reason we joined the publishing industry in the first place.

We love entertaining, informing, and connecting with readers all over the world.

That’s why we decided to create a book awards contest that would bring together indie authors and devoted readers.

We invited indie and self-published authors to submit their best work in a range of 16 categories, and then we let readers decide a winner by voting for their favorites!

We’re so grateful to everyone who voted and entered their book to make this competition possible!

A Note on Counting the Votes

There are several reasons why some votes may not have been officially counted when determining the winners. For example:

• Some votes were repeated from the same IP address (meaning someone was voting multiple times for the same book)
• Some votes were issued multiple times for the same book at the same time from masked IP addresses (These votes probably came from a bot)

We removed all these duplicate votes, and that’s why the final leaderboards for the contest are a bit different than what you may have seen on the voting page.

*All the votes counted after the duplicate votes were removed are unique votes, and those individual votes from unique readers are what we counted to determine the winners.

Another Important Note: Just because a book received lots of duplicate votes does not mean the author was intentionally trying to manipulate the results.
