Partner Picks Juneteenth (June 19, 2026)
In honor of Juneteenth, Edelweiss is curating a special eblast for our full U.S. mailing list to celebrate stories of Black joy, pleasure, and liberation. This is an opportunity to place your title directly in front of over 85,000 U.S. book buyers and readers during an important moment of reflection and celebration.
We are seeking titles by Black writers that celebrate the fullness of Black life, with stories grounded in creativity, community, and possibility. Fiction and nonfiction across age categories are welcome. While we recognize the importance of many kinds of stories, this issue centers celebration, joy, and imagination.
Edelweiss Book Lists
The purpose of the Edelweiss Book Lists is to gather titles around designated themes and awareness months to share with booksellers and librarians. These title lists are timed with buying seasons to help stores and librarians make relevant books available to their communities.
Publishers may submit up to two titles per imprint at no cost for each themed list. Once reviewed for alignment with the theme, approved titles are featured on the Edelweiss site and highlighted in upcoming U.S. Bookseller and Librarian newsletters. View all the finalized lists here.
Book Lists provide themed visibility within the Edelweiss platform and newsletters, featuring a broad selection of titles aligned with each topic.
View all Edelweiss Book Lists from your homepage by adding the "Edelweiss History/Awareness Months" widget available under the Catalogs category:

Women in Translation (March 2026)
To honor International Women's Day this March, we seek to shed a light on women writers from all over the globe. As we call for all to have equal opportunities to share their voices and stories with the world, please submit titles from women writers who are working in languages other than English.
Poetry (April 2026)
We can't wait to celebrate National Poetry Month this April! Please submit poetry titles that you are excited to share with booksellers and librarians. We are especially interested in poetry that showcases the diversity of perspectives and voices speaking through this vital genre.
Make Good Trouble: Hopeful Politics (September 2026)
With this list, we seek to assemble a collection of titles that inspire hope, community care, and civic engagement. We are looking for books that center the power of the people and positive local change and which look forward to a better future. We are open to titles for all ages and form all publication dates.
Edelweiss reserves the right to reject any title from these lists in its sole discretion for any reason. The team will evaluate all submissions for their appropriateness to the list theme and will not include titles that do not fit the brief as outlined.
