Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards Add Category, Jurors

Sep 16, 2024

The Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards, the only juried American book awards focused on works that address racism and diversity, have announced several updates for the 2025 award year, including the introduction of three new jurors—Charles King, Deesha Philyaw, and Luis Alberto Urrea—and the addition of fourth category for submissions, memoir/autobiography. 

This year, all submissions will be accepted digitally, streamlining the process for authors and publishers. For books published and copyrighted in 2024, the submission period will end on October 16, 2024.

The Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards were founded in 1935 and are currently administered by the Cleveland Foundation. For more information on the submission guidelines, click here.
