International Impact Book Awards
A Message From Our Founder
When I founded the International Impact Book Awards, I set out to create something the publishing world was missing: a place where authors are honored not for how many copies they sell, but for the genuine impact their words leave on the people who read them.
I know that journey intimately. I know what it takes to sit alone with a blank page and the quiet hope that your story might matter to someone. I know the courage it takes to share it with the world, and the doubt that so often travels alongside that courage. And I know how rare it is for an author to be truly seen for the difference their work makes.
That is why this organization exists. Every author we recognize has met our Standard of Excellence—a distinction that is earned, and one that belongs entirely to them. The Honors & Gala is our way of giving that recognition the celebration it deserves: a night where your name is spoken aloud, your work is honored, and you stand among a community that understands exactly what you’ve accomplished.
It is my deepest honor to welcome you, to celebrate you, and to remind you that the words you were brave enough to write have made a difference. This is your moment—and I cannot wait to share it with you.
With admiration,
Nim Stant
Founder, International Impact Book Awards
