Patrick Finegan''s novel, Cooperative Lives, won the silver medal for Best First Book (Fiction) in the 24th Annual Independent Publisher Book Awards, or IPPYs.
The "IPPY" Awards, launched in 1996, are designed to bring increased recognition to the deserving but often unsung titles published by independent authors and publishers. Established as the first awards program open exclusively to independents, over 5,500 "IPPYs" have been awarded to authors and publishers around the world. As one of the oldest, most established independent book awards in operation, the Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPYs) are well known and respected in the book industry.
Cooperative Lives didn't win any of the category awards, but for a first outing, I am beyond satisfied. Thank you, Independent Publisher!
