The 2023 Strange Inc. Book Awards

Criteria for Book Award Submissions

Books that fulfill the following criteria are eligible for entry into the 2023 Strange Inc. Book Awards:

  • Written by a Muslim woman
  • Published between 2020 and 2023 (including hybrid and self-published books) 
  • Written in the English language
  • Available in print format

The publisher, author or illustrator may enter the book into the competition. 

Books may be entered into more than one category, but a separate application and entrance fee must be submitted for each entry. 

Titles that portray Islam or Muslims in a negative light will be disqualified. This does not mean that characters must show perfect manners, only that any sin committed is not glorified. 

Winners will receive certificates as well as 50 book stickers for each of the 5 winners. All applicants will receive recognition for their amazing efforts and a shout out on our bi monthly show. 

***If your manuscript surpasses the specified size limit, kindly forward it via email to the following address: info.thestrangers@gmail.com, along with the relevant details provided in this form. Payment can be facilitated through either zelle or PayPal using the same email address: info.thestrangers@gmail.com.***

Submissions are open from May 1st to May 31st
