Congratulations to our 2024 Goody Business Book Awards Winners/Finalists!
The Annual Goody Business Book Awards announces 193 Award-Winning Authors for 2024 to shine a light on social impact authors making a difference with words. These 114 Winners and 79 Finalists won in all 50 categories in 8 genres. Out of hundreds of nominations from around the world, these Award-Winning Authors were selected by a panel of marketing and communications judges based on the book quality, cover image, and how it is improving lives.
Anyone can view the FULL LIST of Winners and Finalists below and/or see the write-ups by Category that include HOW the book is helping others, book cover, and Amazon page (please click on category name below or use the drop down menu on left panel.)
In addition, there are 9 Total Impact Authors, who received 3+ awards (Winners and Finalists) for 2024 that will receive an additional award seal and promotions (a separate announcement will be posted about these top authors next week).
Some of the most popular Goody Business Book Awards categories have multiple Winners and Finalists because there were so many high quality books. The books are not ranked, and it is considered a tie for all recognized, if there is more than one.
The 5 most popular categories with the most nominations for 2024 included (in this order):
1. Leadership – Think Differently
2. Business – Thought Leader
3. Leadership – HR and Employee Development
4. Business – Personal Transformation
5. Business – Big Ideas
Winners and Finalists are also encouraged to share their awards everywhere to add value to their upcoming holiday and book marketing campaigns. For example, some of our 8 Award-Winning Author Promotion Tips include sending out your own press release, adding the awards seal to your website or Amazon page, post on social media, create a video/reel and/or add the awards seal to your book cover.
Please view, share, promote and cheer our new 2024 Award-Winning Authors!
