- Only book reviews are allowed this year (even-numbered years); you get one entry per person or team, there’s no strict word count but past finalists were often 2,000–10,000 words, and nontraditional books may receive some reserved finalist slots.
- Submit through the Google Form and include a Google Doc link that is anonymized (don’t put your name or identifying details in the Doc) and set to “anyone with the link”; avoid Google Doc’s native footnote feature and write footnotes by hand if you need them.
- The deadline is May 20, readers will vote to pick about ten finalists (one published per week) with winners chosen later, and prizes start at $2,500 for first, $1,000 for second, $500 for third plus publicity and other perks.
