Latino Book Awards

The Latino Book Awards recognize the best achievements in Spanish or Portuguese literature each year. They are produced by Latino Literacy Now, an organization co-founded by Edward James Olmos and Kirk Whisler and Reforma, the National Association to Promote Library and Information Services to Latinos.

Each year since 1997 the Latino Book Awards are announced at BookExpo America, the largest publishing trade show in the United States. The awards include diverse categories. In 2007 the Latino Book Awards were renamed International Latino Book Awards. Its winners include authors such as Isabel Allende, Rudolfo Anaya, Mario Vargas Llosa, Rodolfo Acuña, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Rudy Ruiz, Ana Nogales or Paulo Coelho.
