The Book Behind Awards

Vision

Our vision is to foster a culture that promotes both reading and writing while celebrating the often overlooked yet inspirational authors within our society.

Mission

We aim to honor and applaud authors who, despite being encouraged to write, often remain unnoticed, with their book’s inspiration overlooked or sidelined.

Objectives

The primary objectives of our organization include:

  • Conducting an annual award ceremony to acknowledge and honor unrecognized authors.
  • Inspiring young individuals to consider literature as a viable career path by organizing career exhibitions.
  • Advocating the significance of reading and writing through career guidance workshops.
  • Providing coaching and mentorship to both published and unpublished authors.
  • We aspire to transform writing into a profitable venture.
THE BOOK BEHIND AWARDS

What Is The Book Behind?

The Book Behind Awards (TBBA) is an annual event that celebrates the intricate challenges faced by authors and pays tribute to their significant role in society. The path to authorship is rarely smooth, yet behind every triumph in literature lies an even more captivating narrative.

After three successful seasons in 2021, 2022, and 2023, the TBBA is currently in its third iteration, continuing its tradition of acknowledging and honoring authors.

This year, TBBA offers an exceptional and lucrative marketing and developmental prospect as nominations have been opened nationwide and internationally, presenting an incredible opportunity.

We’ve designed a program called the “Literature Walk,” where participants stroll while carrying a book they’ve authored or one they’re presently reading. Our aim is to establish a connection between readers and writers during this engaging activity.

We’ve initiated another program called “Donate a Book for a School Library.” In this program, we gather both used and unused books with the goal of establishing a school library at a chosen educational institution.

Transforming Writing into a Business

While writing was once primarily considered a hobby, it has evolved into a viable business model that Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) can venture into. The Book Behind Awards acknowledges that publishing, book selling, and writing workshops are all profitable enterprises deserving recognition like any other business.

The TBBA aims not only to honor authors but also to offer comprehensive business support services to existing and potential ventures, including publishing houses, editors, printers, graphic designers, and more. These services enable them to engage in income-generating activities, fostering job creation and contributing to economic growth.
