John Leonard Prize Explained

The John Leonard Prize for Best First Book, established in 2013, is an annual literary award presented by the National Book Critics Circle (NBCC) for authors' first books in any genre.[1] Unlike other NBCC awards, recipients are selected by members, not the board.

The prize is named after John Leonard, a renowned literary critic and NBCC co-founder.
