Submit Your Book!

Fill out the information below and provide us with either:

  • An epub version of your book
  • Physical copies for our Avid Readers
    • We will provide the addresses to send the physical copies to. Note that we typically have 3-5 Avid Readers per category.
    • If this is your preferred method, please email us letting us know marketing@thecanadianbookclubawards.ca (attach a placeholder in the spot designed for the epub).

The epub and or physical book is used for our Avid Reader Group to elect the final three books in each category. We have changed the specs for the 2025 awards to be either epub version or physical (instead of pdf) to help with accessibility for our readers, ensuring the best reading experience for every Avid Reader.

If your book is selected as a finalist title, we will send out a press release and announce the winners via email to our Verified Readers. Verified Readers will receive links to purchase your book and will have just under three months to purchase and read all three finalists books in the category they choose and submit their vote.

Will your book be their favourite read?!
