Exclusively Indian, inclusive in every other sense, the Raymond Crossword Book Awards bring together the entire literary community
– readers, authors, booksellers and publishers – like no other awards.

When Raymond Crossword Book Awards was first launched in 1998, the idea was to encourage Indian writing and Indian authors.

Raymond Crossword Book Awards not only recognize and reward good writing, but also actively promote Indian authors and their books – making it the only Indian award of its kind to do so.

The only Literary Award in India for the Indian Authors spread across Fiction, Non-Fiction, Children’s, Translations and Popular Categories.
