Call for Entries: 58th Annual New England Book Show

We're excited to announce the 58th annual New England Book Show, a continuation of the long-running showcase of the best-made books and ebooks in New England. Join us May 5, 2015 at Symphony Hall to celebrate the year in bookmaking.

For this show, we're continuing to include the new categories we introduced last year: graphic novels, poetry, and literary magazines. We've also created separate categories for children's and young adult books for the first time ever. Plus: categories designed especially for small publishers.

On the ebooks side, we're categorizing files based on format: reflowable or fixed layout.

Entries are accepted from anyone in New England who's had a hand in producing a book: publishers, artists, students, vendors (of design, production, manufacturing, etc.)—anyone. Entries must have been produced or published between September 1, 2013 and December 31, 2014.

Want to get involved? Visit our website (www.newenglandbookshow.org) to learn more about submitting, sponsorship, and the student competition. We can't wait to see the books you've made this year.
