Ursula K. Le Guin Prize 👑 Shortlists
Books that have been shortlisted for the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction. I compiled this list because the criteria (and Le Guin's works) resonate with me:
"The Prize will be given to a writer whose work reflects the concepts and ideas that were central to Ursula’s own work, including but not limited to: hope, equity, and freedom; non-violence and alternatives to conflict; and a holistic view of humanity’s place in the natural world."
Ursula K Le Guin Prize Nominees
Nominees for the Ursula K Le Guin Prize for for Fiction, awarded since 2022 for imaginative fiction. (Mostly I have made this because they're always really great picks and I want to work my way through all of them.)
Ursula K. Le Guin Prize - Winners & Nominees
A list of books that have been considered for and/or won the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction. From the official website - "This award is intended to recognize those writers Ursula spoke of in her 2014 National Book Awards speech—realists of a larger reality, who can imagine real grounds for hope and see alternatives to how we live now."
Sci-Fi Written by Women/Non-binary Authors
What it says on the tin :) In the past year, I've seen numerous posts, comments, videos about wanting more Sci-Fi books written by women/nb authors. Surprisingly, I did not find a list on pagebound already made for this topic, so I wanted to create one! I'd also love a quest for this too someday :) I also want this list to not only be Sci-Fi written by women/nb authors, but centering authors from marginalized communities.
