We’re six months into 2023 which means halfway through the publishing year. What amazes me is that there’s still SO MANY Newbery potentials that are not yet published. I have no idea what the best strategy is… publish a book early in the year to give people a while to read it, or wait until later in the year so people don’t forget about the book.
By now, most people are aware of our suggestion process- but read this post from March for more information on the details. . And check out our cumulated list of suggestions so far here.
Our July suggestion period is now open- comment with 5 Newbery worthy titles published in 2023. We’ll close suggestions on Saturday, July 8 and post the updated list the following Monday.
