Author Selection Criteria

The Alabama Bound Committee uses the following criteria for inviting authors:

• Authors must either be a native of Alabama, lived in Alabama, or the subject of the book must be about Alabama or take place in Alabama.
• Authors must have a book published within the past two years by a reputable publisher. Self-published books are rarely considered.
• The selection committee chooses as diverse a group as possible regarding subject of publication, targeted age level (adult, teen, juvenile), ethnic origin of author, and popularity of the book (best seller vs academia).

Author selection runs from September through January. If you would like to be considered, please fill out the online form below.
