2025 Goody Business Book Awards Nominations Open for Authors with 5 New Categories

To recognize social impact authors making a difference with words, the Annual Goody Business Book Awards is now accepting 2025 Nominations for authors.

SANTA MONICA, CA, UNITED STATES, February 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Annual Goody Business Book Awards announces its 2025 book award nominations are now open for any book published within 5 years (2021-2025) with 5 new categories. Authors, publishers, literary agents, publicists and fans can nominate books by the final deadline: September 30, 2025. And while many book awards programs highlight a social good category, the Goody Business Book Awards uniquely honors 100% social impact books.

Goody PR and Goody Business Book Awards Founder, Award-Winning Author and Podcast Host Liz H. Kelly explains; “It’s hard to write a book, and even harder to draw attention to your work. With 46+ million books published on Amazon alone, we created the Goody Business Book Awards to shine a light on authors making a difference - with words.”

The overall goal is to “Uplift Author Voices” above excessive competition for their niche area of expertise. The 50 book awards categories provide many options for authors to be recognized in 8 subject areas, which include: Business, Entrepreneur, Health, Leadership, Marketing, Money/Wealth, Self-Help and Technology.

When asked what’s changed, Kelly explains, “What's new in 2025 is that 5 new categories have replaced previous ones to give authors better opportunities to be recognized. The 5 new categories include:
- 1. Business – Transformation
- 2. Health - Self-Care
- 3. Health - Nutrition and Diet
- 4. Self-Help - Spiritual Wellness
- 5. Self-Help - Personal Success

The Goody Business Book Awards’ 2025 Nomination and Awards Timeline includes three phases:
- Phase 1 - Nominations Accepted: Now - September 30, 2025
- Phase 2 - Winners/Finalists Announced: November 15, 2025
- Phase 3 - Promote Award-Winning Authors: November 15, 2025 and Beyond

Over 100 Award-Winning Authors (50 Winners and 50 Finalists - plus Top Impact Authors who win 3+ awards in one year) will be announced by the Goody Business Book Awards by November 15, 2025. These Award-Winning Authors can promote their awards on their book cover, website, social media, blogs, videos and/or distribute a press release. And as the presenting sponsor and marketing agency, Goody PR will also actively promote winners using a digital marketing campaign for over three months.

The top 3 author benefits of the Goody Business Book Awards include building more credibility as a trustworthy thought leader, attracting more book sales, and gaining raving fans through the power of recognition.

Kelly adds, “It's an easy 3-step Nomination Process that take less than 5 minutes. And when submitting a book, the most important question is HOW is your book improving lives?” Kelly expands, “If your book is helping people start a business, be successful, live longer, be inspired, be a better leader, save money, buy a house, market their product better and/or other positive impacts, you should nominate your book for a Goody Business Book Award.”
