Pauli Murray's Revolutionary Life is a 2022 INDIES Winner!

Foreword Reviews announced the winners of its INDIES Book of the Year Awards, and Pauli Murray’s Revolutionary Life by Simki Kuznick is an Honorable Mention Winner in the Juvenile Nonfiction category!

Pauli Murray’s Revolutionary Life is a Young Adult Biography about the feminist, civil rights lawyer, poet, author, activist, and priest who paved the way for all to live a life of equality and purpose.

The INDIES awards recognize the best books published in 2022 from small, independent, and university presses, including university and author publishers. You can view a list of the winners here.

For this year’s competition, over 2,600 entries were submitted in 55 categories, with Foreword’s editors choosing approximately 10 finalists per genre. Those finalists were then delivered to individual librarians and booksellers tasked with picking the Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Honorable Mention winners.

“What a monumental and exciting effort the judging process was this year,” says Matt Sutherland, Foreword’s Executive Editor. “So many worthy titles, so thin the margins between medal winners and finalists.”
