On October 1, in New York City, the National Book Foundation announced their 50 contenders. Eleven of the 50 shortlisted titles selected by the judges in each of the Young People’s Literature, Translated Literature, Poetry, Nonfiction, and Fiction categories are published by PRH imprints, and will contend for 2024 National Book Awards. It is said our representation in Nonfiction and Fiction is particularly strong.
Ta-Nehisi Coates, whose newest book “The Message,” is published by One World October 1, will present the Foundation’s 2024 Literarian Award for Outstanding Service to the American Literary Community to W. Paul Coates, publisher, community activist, and founder of Black Classic Press and BCP Digital Printers.
Following the judges’ voting in the afternoon, the five NBA category winners will be presented Wednesday evening, November 20, at the Foundation’s traditional downtown Manhattan black-tie dinner.
