Celebrate the award-winning authors of the Heartland Booksellers Award and the Voice of the Heartland Award. The vibrant Ira Madison III will host. All authors will hold a book signing for booksellers to meet after the awards are presented.
The Heartland Booksellers Award is a joint award given annually by the Great Lakes Independent Booksellers Association and the Midwest Independent Booksellers Association. Please rank each title based on your choice. #1 being your top pick and #4 being your lowest pick. If you did not read a title please feel free not to rank it.
Celebrate the winners by joining us at the Heartland Booksellers Award Ceremony on Monday, October 7th during Heartland Fall Forum in Milwaukee.
The Heartland Booksellers Award is a reflection of handselling at its best, as all the books are selected directly by independent booksellers, and celebrate literature in the Great Lakes and Midwest, with content about the region, or an author from our region.
Thank you for voting!
