About the Smart WFM Australian Business Book Awards

 
 

ABOUT THE AWARDS

Writing and publishing a book is a powerful way for a businessperson to build their profile, promote their business and stand out from the crowd. Even today, with blogs, videos, Facebook and Twitter, a book provides an air of authority that sets a published author apart.

The Smart WFM Australian Business Book Awards recognise entrepreneurs, businesspeople and business owners who have written and published a book demonstrating their skill, knowledge and experience in their industry. These books allow authors to share their wisdom with current and potential clients, colleagues, and the general public. This is a rapidly growing area of publishing, and these awards recognise the very high quality of books published in this genre. 

The awards are open to books that have been produced via a traditional publishing house, through partnership publishing or self-publishing, or any other publishing method that has resulted in a professional-standard book. Books can be entered into the following subject categories: 

  • Entrepreneurship and Small Business

  • Social Responsibility

  • Personal Development

  • Communications and Sales

  • Personal Finance and Investment

  • Management and HR

  • Leadership

  • Technology

  • Health and Wellbeing

  • General Business

In addition, you can also enter one of these marketing and production categories: 

  • Best Marketing and Publicity

  • Best Cover Design

  • Best Audiobook

The Smart WFM Australian Business Book Awards are run by Publish Central, and are a not-for-profit venture. Entry fees are to cover the running of the competition. Any profits are donated to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. (In 2019 we donated almost $2000 and in 2021 we donated over $10,000.)  

 

Any profits are proudly donated to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. 

The Indigenous Literacy Foundation is a national book industry charity that aims to reduce the disadvantage experienced by children in remote Indigenous communities across Australia by lifting literacy levels and instilling a lifelong love of reading.

The Australian Business Book Awards is proud to be donating any profits from the awards to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.
