Chasing Legends Named Winner at the 20th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards
Motorcycle Podcast Memoir Takes Top Honour in the Competitive New Non-Fiction Category
Aaron Pufal, Podcaster and Author, is pleased to announce that his book Chasing Legends: Motorcycle Stories from the Podcast Trail has been named the winner in the New Non-Fiction category at the 20th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards (NIEA), one of the most respected competitions in independent and self-publishing.
About the National Indie Excellence Awards
The National Indie Excellence Awards, based in Hermosa Beach, California, celebrates the best in self-published and independently published books across a sweeping range of genres and formats. Now in its 20th year, the NIEA is recognized across the publishing industry as a benchmark of quality for independent authors and small presses, drawing entries from across North America and beyond. The competition is judged by a panel of publishing professionals whose standards are drawn from the same criteria applied to traditionally published titles, making a win a meaningful mark of excellence.
New Non-Fiction
The New Non-Fiction category is reserved exclusively for books appearing in competition for the very first time, making it one of the most competitive and closely watched categories in the awards. It draws debut non-fiction titles across all subject areas, putting emerging voices from every corner of the genre on equal footing. Winning this category signals not simply literary merit, but the kind of immediate impact that causes a book to stand apart right from its first introduction to the world.
Winning in the New Non-Fiction category at the National Indie Excellence Awards is an incredible honour. Every story in this book comes from a real conversation, a real road, and a real person with something worth sharing. To have that work recognized at the 20th anniversary of this competition means a great deal, and I hope it brings these stories to a wider audience of riders and adventurers everywhere.
