Nebula Reading List
The Nebula Awards Suggested Reading List is produced through the collaborative effort of SFWA's 2500+ members, provided to the public as a service in finding the year's most noteworthy fantasy and science fiction works. As new listings are added, the Nebula Awards Commissioner must verify the eligibility of each work before it appears on the Reading List. For this reason, there is typically a delay before new recommendations become visible to other members and the public. Recommenders or other parties may be contacted in the event a work is determined ineligible or the eligibility is unclear.
Please note this list is not the preliminary ballot or nomination tally and does not affect the Nebula Award nominations or final results in any way.
Questions or list corrections can be sent to the Nebula Awards Commissioner at [email protected].
If you are an author or publisher and would like to make your eligible work available to SFWA members for consideration for the Nebula Awards, please mail the Nebula Awards Commissioner for more information. The Nebula Award rules are available here.
