Pulitzer Prize

ENTRIES FOR THE AWARD
The basics
1) What books are eligible for consideration? Books first published in the United States during 2024. All entries must be made available for purchase by the general public in either hardcover or bound paperback book form by a United States-based press. Beginning this year, authors of works that meet these criteria are eligible to enter their work if they are U.S. citizens; permanent residents of the United States; or if the United States has been their longtime primary home.

2) Must the publisher make the entry? The publisher does not need to make the entry. Anyone (including the author) may submit an eligible book.

3) Is there an individual or organizational submission limit? There is no limit. You are free to make as many submissions of eligible material as you wish.

4) May I send a check and a copy of the old paper entry form in lieu of completing the online entry form? We are unable to accept paper checks. We ask that you use the online entry form.

5) Do you accept books that are self-published in the United States via such services as Kindle Direct Publishing? Yes, as long as they meet the aforementioned criteria (see No. 1).

6) My submission is only available as an ebook. Is it still eligible? No. Eligibility is contingent on its availability as a bound book (see No. 1).
