Two Mango Moon Media Titles Named Finalists in the 2025 Southwest Book Design Awards

We are proud to share that two Mango Moon Media publications--BEYOND FEAR: A Woman’s Path to Enlightenment by Karen Chrappa and The Dark Side of Grace by Ron Chapman—have been named finalists in the New Mexico Book Association’s 2025 Southwest Book Design Awards (SWBDA).

The SWBDA recognizes creativity and quality in book design and honors distinction in production. The awards are designed to showcase excellence in book design and publishing—and to help raise the standards of book design and production—throughout the Southwest. Entries are judged on the principles and elements of design, including industry-accepted format, visual appeal, and consistency.

This recognition affirms not only the strength of our authors’ work but also Mango Moon Media’s commitment to publishing with both heart and craft. We believe transformational storytelling deserves design that is equally powerful, ensuring that every book we publish resonates inside and out.

Winners will be honored at the Awards Gala on August 21, 2025, at Las Campanas in Santa Fe, New Mexico. We look forward to celebrating with the literary community and receiving the awards on behalf of our authors at this special event.
