Each year, the Positive Impact Book Awards reminds us of something powerful: people crave stories that leave them better than they were before. In a world filled with noise, negativity, and quick-hit content cycles, authors who choose to create uplifting, constructive, and emotionally nourishing work are not just writing books—they are shaping culture.
This year’s finalists are a testament to that mission.

Across Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter, we received some powerful and inspiring stories from the submissions. These works span genres, backgrounds, and life experiences, yet they share one defining purpose: they offer hope, direction, healing, and empowerment to readers everywhere.
They teach us:
That resilience is learned and shared.
Many finalists explored their own journey through adversity, giving readers permission to grow through their own challenges.
That creativity is a universal language.
The children’s authors, illustrators, and storytellers brought joy, color, and confidence to young readers at a time when positivity is needed the most.
That healing is possible.
Several books this year offered pathways to emotional, mental, or spiritual restoration—showing how storytelling becomes a tool for personal transformation.
That community matters.
Many authors championed unity, belonging, and the belief that no one succeeds alone.
Positive stories matter because they do more than entertain.They shift mindsets.They open hearts.They remind us of who we can become.
What stands out most is the intention behind every submission. These authors wrote with the desire to help someone—whether that “someone” is a child discovering their worth, a parent looking for guidance, or an individual navigating a season of struggle or change.
This is why positive media matters.This is why we created the Positive Impact Book Awards. And this is why we will continue to celebrate storytellers who choose to build, uplift, and inspire.
To every finalist who trusted us with their work this year: thank you.You are not only contributing to the literary landscape but you are raising the global standard for meaningful, purpose-driven storytelling.
And to the readers discovering these books, we hope you find what so many others have found through these authors: encouragement, clarity, truth, and joy.
The world needs positive stories now more than ever. Thankfully, this year’s finalists delivered exactly that and much more.
