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 can submit up to two titles per imprint for free to each list. Once reviewed to fit the theme, the title list will be highlighted on our site and in upcoming Bookseller and Librarian newsletters for U.S. users. View all the finalized lists here.


View all Edelweiss Book Lists from your homepage by adding the "Edelweiss History/Awareness Months" widget available under the Catalogs category:

Calls for Submissions
Calls for submissions will be sent out in the Edelweiss Publisher Newsletter two months prior to the list’s month (subscribe here). Each imprint is limited to two title submissions per list. All publication dates are acceptable.
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.
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.
