The Selfies 2021 Winners Announced
Posted on August 2, 2021
The winners of the 2021 Selfies have been announced. The annual award is for books that have been self-published. The Selfies were started in 2018 by BookBrunch.
The awards are backed by Booklife and BookBrunch. A self-published book is described by The Selfies as books edited, designed and marketed solely by the author and books where the authors have paid for all or more than half of the publishing expenses through a hybrid publisher.
The winners were announced by Publisher's Weekly. They were selected from a list of fourteen finalists announced in a previous release.
