We are now accepting submissions for the 2016 800-CEO-READ Business Book Awards!
Celebrating its 10th year, the 800-CEO-READ Business Book Awards exist to recognize the best books in the business genre, and all the people who help bring them to life. Awards winners are determined by 800-CEO-READ’s editorial staff, who have a combined 65+ years of business book industry experience. Each book is judged on the originality and applicability of its ideas and quality of the writing. And each winner inspires in us a desire to share the book with friends and family as well as the business community.
For 2016, we have modified our award categories with the explicit goal of recognizing a broader range of books, authors, and publishers. At our company’s heart, we believe in books. We believe books can help create more humane, diverse, modern, and effective businesses. And with its ever-expanding parameters, the business book genre delves into and reflects all aspects of the human experience. Our new awards categories make room for that exciting potential and multiplicity.
Any business book published in the U.S. within the year 2016 is eligible within the following categories:
Leadership & Strategy

Management & Workplace Culture
