The Association of American Publishers (AAP) Professional & Scholarly Publishing (PSP) Division is pleased to announce that the 2017 American Publishers Awards for Professional and Scholarly Excellence (PROSE) is now accepting entries.

Presented since 1976, the PROSE Awards recognize groundbreaking books, reference works, journals and digital content across the humanities and sciences.  Fifty-nine awards are available, including the R.R. Hawkins Award, the highest honor in professional and scholarly publishing, which is presented to the most outstanding work among the year’s entries.

Winners will be honored at the PROSE Awards luncheon ceremony, held during the PSP Annual Conference, on Feb. 2 in Washington, DC. This year’s luncheon will feature the screening of an original documentary film on the 2016 Hawkins winner, Aldon D. Morris, author of The Scholar Denied: W.E.B. Du Bois and the Birth of Modern Sociology.

While sponsored by PSP, PROSE accepts entries from all members of AAP and the Association of American University Presses (AAUP). 

The 2017 Call for Entries is now available online only at www.proseawards.com.  The submissions deadline is Monday, October 31, 2016.
