The Wonderland Book Awards this May at BizarroCon 2026 in Portland, Oregon, and we’re beginning the process of building this year’s list of eligible books. That’s right! MAY! No waiting until November to celebrate last year’s books.
To make the awards as inclusive and representative of the bizarro community as possible, we’re asking for your help. If you’re aware of any bizarro fiction books published in 2025, please tell us the title, author (and preferably what category they qualify for). You don’t need to have read the books yourself. If you’ve published them, written them, seen them mentioned online, or heard others talking about them, we want to know about them.
ELIGIBILITY:
- Bizarro fiction first published between January 1 – December 31, 2025.
- In print or available as an ebook as of March 2026 (no limited editions, reprints, or out-of-print titles).
CATEGORIES
- Best Novel: Novella or novel-length prose fiction
- Best Collection: Single-author books of short stories, flash fiction, novellas, poems, essays, or screenplays
Please send us your list of titles to bizarrocon@gmail.com by Monday, March 16th. Thanks for helping us celebrate bizarro fiction!
