The guidelines and entry form are available on our website.

Reserve Your Seat for the NBA Novel-to-Screen Film Festival  On April 4 and 5, we will partner with Pratt Institute to present the inaugural National Book Awards Novel-to-Screen Film Festival, featuring three films based on National Book Award-nominated books: "Lolita," "The Cool World," and "Hugo." All screenings and panel discussions are free and open to the public, but seats are limited. To reserve your seat, email Sherrie Young at syoung@nationalbook.org with "RSVP for Novel-to-Screen" in the subject line. For more information, please visit our website. |
Watch Video from NBA on Campus with Louise Erdrich and Domingo Martinez  On March 21 and 22, we once again partnered with Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota to present National Book Awards on Campus. This year's program featured Louise Erdrich, 2012 NBA Fiction Winner for The Round House, and Domingo Martinez, 2012 NBA Nonfiction Finalist for The Boy Kings of Texas. NPR's Neal Conan interviewed both authors. Video of the program is now available on Concordia's website. |
Checking In with Past 5 Under 35 Honorees  When authors are named 5 Under 35 honorees, they are typically at the beginning of their careers.

Click here to check out what some of our past 5 Under 35 honorees have been up to recently. |
What Are You Reading? Post-its Available |
If you visited our booth at last year's Brooklyn Book Festival or the recent AWP Conference in Boston, you might have seen our What Are You Reading? board--just one of many ways that we foster conversation about books and reading. To take the conversation even further, we'd like to offer teachers, librarians, booksellers, and any others who promote reading in their communities up to twenty-five What Are You Reading? Post-it pads to use in the classroom, library, bookstore, or beyond. Just send an email to Sherrie Young at syoung@nationalbook.org specifying how many pads you'd like and where they should be mailed.
