NBCC - National Book Critics Circle Award

Organization: National Book Critics Circle

Each year the National Book Critics Circle selects awards in six categories: Fiction, General Nonfiction, Biography, Autobiography, Poetry, and Criticism. Members of the Board of Directors nominate books. Each book that is championed by a board member is placed on a master list, from which the finalists (and ultimately the winners) are selected. From time to time, NBCC board members may contact you to request a single copy of a book for consideration. Please respond to such requests quickly, as it will give the board member time to evaluate the book and possibly champion it with the rest of the board. Publishers are welcome to bring books to the board's attention. If you feel there are books on your list that the NBCC board shouldn't miss, you can submit them by sending a copy of each title to each board member at your earliest convenience. Books published in English (including translations) in the United States with pub dates within 2007 will be considered. It is essential that the board receive the books as early in the year as possible to allow time to consider all titles, and so they can be part of the board's active, ongoing discussion. Please send requested titles as soon as you have stock available.
