Did I mention that Cactus Rain Publishing won an IPPY Award? Whoo-hoo!

Celebrating its 29th year, the IPPY Awards recognize books that exemplify independent spirit and publishing excellence across a wide range of genres. This year’s medalists include independent publishing houses, university presses, and self-published authors from 14 countries, representing the vibrant global voice of indie publishing. See the complete list of winners here: https://ippyawards.com/blog/2025-medalists

A panel of expert judges—including librarians, booksellers, reviewers, and designers—evaluate entries based on quality of content, originality, and design. By awarding gold, silver, and bronze medals in each category, the IPPYs shine a spotlight on books that break new ground and make meaningful contributions to literature and culture.
