Readers of the exceptional titles selected for Authors Marketing Guild, a Texas-based organization Best Book Awards for Texas & International, would agree that they are winning reads and top-tier selections in their categories. By any measure, the distinguished books from this year's seventeen winners are of stellar quality. They are perfect examples of books readers will love to fall into the pages and climb out with the greatest of satisfaction.

This is the nineth year for Texas Librarians to select winning titles written by Texas authors in the Children's, Fiction, Non-Fiction, and Poetry genres. This is the first year we selected winners for the international division. The winners from this year's contest will be featured at the Texas Book Festival in the DEAR Texas & Texas Authors Institute of History booths.
