With over 6,600 members across 52 countries, the ITW Awards recognize excellence in numerous categories, including: Best Hardcover Novel, Best Series Novel, Best First Novel, Best Young Adult Novel, Best Short Story, and Best Audiobook. The eligibility is generally limited to works first published in the English language during the previous calendar year.
