The Poetry Flash Northern California Book Awards Selection Committee is responsible for choosing the best Fiction, Poetry, Nonfiction, Children’s Literature, and Translation(poetry and prose) books published in Northern California. The committee is composed of writers, poets, and literary critics who review and evaluate submissions based on their artistic merit and literary value. The selected books are then awarded the Northern California Book Award, which recognizes and celebrates outstanding books in the region.
Here’s our call for the selection committee:
Join the Northern California Book Reviewers(NCBR) and celebrate writing and publishing in Northern California. The NCBR, seeks prospective selection committee members to choose the nominees and winners of the Northern California Book Awards, now in its 42nd year. Selection committee members read the books submitted for consideration and serve on nominating committees in Fiction, Poetry, Nonfiction, Children’s Literature (Younger Readers, Middle Grade, Young Adult) and Translation(poetry and prose). Those who are eligible to serve on the selection committee are encouraged to be part of this important experience in the Northern literary landscape. The selection committees for the 2024 awards will be finalized in January 2024. NCBR members must have published three reviews in an established print or online publication. Editors at newspapers and other publications that publish book reviews, children’s librarians, book media hosts, and other book professionals who recommend and write about books are also eligible for membership.
