- Books nominated must have a 2011 release date.

- You may nominate books in more than one genre, up to 5 per genre.
- Nominations are open to all readers who do not make their income through the sales of books (i.e. not authors, publishers, or publicists) — hence “independent” from the publishing industry.
- Nominations are open midnight PST September 1, 2011 – 11:59 PST December 31, 2011.
- Nominations must come from a primary e-mail address; in case we need to get in touch with you regarding your nomination. (If we were not able to receive a timely response from you, your nomination would be considered ineligible.)
