24 February 2023

Middle East Monitor's (MEMO) Palestine Book Awards is back for the 12th year. We invite you to submit your best entries. Winning books will be chosen from several categories, including Academic, Translation, Creative, Memoir, Social History.

MEMO will be hosting an awards ceremony to honour and endorse the best books written in English on the subject of Palestine. The awards promote existing books on Palestine as well as encouraging new authors to write about this important topic with the aim of drawing attention to a cause that is at the heart of the Middle East.

The winning books will be announced at the annual invitation-only event held in a top London restaurant in November 2023 during which publishers, authors, journalists, academics and politicians will join in the celebration. There will also be the potential for interviews, reviews and other promotional events to increase awareness and sales of the books.

We welcome all books submitted by publishers. Please review the eligibility criteria and nominate a book here.
