GRATITUDE FOR OUR AUTHORS

Over the past two decades, we have been blessed to witness and celebrate an abundance of award-winning books that offer inspiration, imagination, wisdom, and new possibilities!

Nautilus Book Awards is in our 23rd Season. We wouldn't be who we are without all of our Nautilus award-winning authors and publishers through the past two decades. You all have planted precious seeds of wisdom to nurture humanity and the planet! Your work embodies many genres of the writer’s craft, embraces a diverse spectrum of the publishing industry, and has invoked visions for a better future from many states of the USA and more than a dozen other nations around the world.

We deeply honor your commitment, insights, and talent to birth books that inspire, connect, and co-create healing, peace, and justice paths.

The Nautilus Book Awards will continue to honor authors whose works point us in the direction of wholeness and more love. Everything from caring for Bonobos, our communities, ourselves, and our world in the multitude of ways that are unfolding.
