The Living Now Book Awards celebrate the innovation and creativity of newly published books that enhance the quality of our lives, from cooking and fitness to relationships and mature living. The awards are open to all books written in English and intended for the North American market. The medalists in this year’s Living Now Book Awards offer a list of books representing some of the fastest-growing segments of book publishing today, and the Living Now Book Awards publicize the importance of these books to readers and their vitality in the marketplace.


“Many of this year’s medal-winning authors have taken on a new urgency. Books can instruct, books can inspire, and books can sound an alarm that brings about action and positive results.”
— Awards Director Jim Barnes.
