National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction

Last updated

The National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction, established in 1976, [1] is an annual American literary award presented by the National Book Critics Circle (NBCC) to promote "the finest books and reviews published in English." [2]

Contents

Books previously published in English are not eligible, such as re-issues and paperback editions. They do consider "translations, short story and essay collections, self published books, and any titles that fall under the general categories." [3]

The judges are the volunteer directors of the NBCC who are 24 members serving rotating three-year terms, with eight elected annually by the voting members, namely "professional book review editors and book reviewers." [4] Winners of the awards are announced each year at the NBCC awards ceremony in conjunction with the yearly membership meeting, which takes place in March. [3]
