publishers, and their representatives may not nominate their own books
for any of the awards. Books published by the Mythopoeic Press are not
eligible for the awards. The Mythopoeic Society does not accept or
review unsolicited manuscripts.
The Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature is given to the
fantasy novel, multi-volume novel, or single-author story collection
for adults published during in 2017 that best exemplifies “the spirit
of the Inklings”. Books not selected as finalists in the year after
publication are eligible for a second year. Books from a series are
eligible if they stand on their own; otherwise, the series becomes
eligible the year its final volume appears.
The Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Children’s Literature honors books
for beginning readers to age thirteen, in the tradition of The Hobbit
or The Chronicles of Narnia. Rules for eligibility are otherwise the
same as for the Adult literature award. The question of which award a

committees. Books for mature “Young Adults” may be moved to the Adult
literature category.
The Mythopoeic Scholarship Award in Inklings Studies is given to books
on J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and/or Charles Williams that make
