Goooood morning, all! Just a reminder, we are still accepting nominations in for the 2022 SPE Outstanding Book Award!

You do not have to be a member of the SPE to nominate a text, and self-nominations/publisher nominations are welcome. The review process is competitive. We do hope that winners who are not yet members will choose to support the organization through membership.

Texts must have been published in 2021, 2020, or 2019 to be considered.

We will be accepting nominations through September 30th, as our reviewers need time to read, contemplate, and review. You can message me here or email [email protected] with the book title, author email and publisher contact. Also, I am happy to answer questions about review criteria and what makes for an "outstanding" book as defined by the SPE.

IMPORTANTLY, please consider volunteering to review for the award, especially if you have been fortunate enough to receive one. So far we have a number of interested books nominated, and it should be fun. Besides, who doesn’t want free books?

A BIG thank you to everyone who attended all or part of the 2021 SPE Annual Meeting, virtually! And a big congratulations to our award winners... photos and highlights forthcoming!
