Welcome to the New Recommended Reading List!

When you visit the new Recommended Reading List, you will notice the main page is filled with more categories and genre breakdowns than there are awards.

That is because the Recommended Reading List can and should be used to celebrate great work throughout the year. It’s our platform for thinking about new directions in SFF storytelling, and all the multimedia intersections that make our community strong. If there is award-potential for some of the work there, fantastic! But there are many other ways and reasons we celebrate SFF, too.

In practical terms: You can now submit a work to multiple lists at the same time, so feel free to recommend an Indie Western SFF Novel, or a moving Nonfiction Book analyzing Space Opera over time, or a Poetry Collection with Environmental themes, or a moving piece of Multimedia Commentary about recent Franchise Tie-In Card Game – and more!

Every recommended work should have a fair chance at finding its next perfect reader.

That’s why each section in the main page of our Recommended Reading List offers a random selection from its respective category or genre tag.

Every time you reload, you will encounter different work, and maybe discover something that thrills you from an author you’ve never read before.

And yes, you can always visit our Reading List directory, which automatically uploads with new work listed alphabetically, if you want to find something by an author you already know and love.

But the pleasant surprises are also a ton of fun!

Possibly the biggest win for this new structure is its external appeal.

SFWA is all about professional and professionalizing writers coming together to learn from each other and support each other. We can set terrific standards at SFWA with the writing we choose to elevate—but we needed an interface that will properly reflect our professionalism, and invite excited outsiders to learn more about the terrific work we’ve recently created.

SFWA Members always have private, logged-in-only access to certain uploaded materials, which are shared here so that voters can read them ahead of making their Nebula Awards nominations.

There are also front-facing links for free-to-read titles, and the structure is intended to bring more eyes to our work. Teachers. Librarians. New readers, near and far!

So hello and welcome! May your next read here be a great one—and SFWA Members: keep ’em coming!
