Book Suggestion Requirements
The 2024 Rainbow Book List is now accepting book suggestions.
Books considered for the bibliography are to have been published in the United States, within the assigned calendar year or between July 1 and December 31 of the previous calendar year (e.g. Books to be considered for the 2024 Rainbow Book List must be published between July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2023). Title suggestions must be provided before September 30 to be considered for the current year’s consideration.
Jury members of the Rainbow Book List Committee may not recommend a book that they have contributed to, edited, or in any other way been affiliated with, or recommend a book coauthored or edited by a member of their immediate family or anyone with whom they currently share a household.
If your selection meets the criteria, fill out the form below.
Please be aware that this form is intended to suggest a title in case the committee may not already be aware of it. Suggesting a title does not guarantee the committee will consider it for the list. Repeated submissions of a title do not affect the title’s chances of appearing on the final list.
