THE COMMONWEALTH CLUB PRESENTS
HISTORY On the evening of June 11, 1931, then Club President James A. Johnston announced the creation of an award whose goal was to foster literature within the Golden State. “It is hoped and expected,” he said, “that the recognition afforded by these annual California Commonwealth Club Literature Medals will be a spur and an encouragement to many a California author in this and future years.” The awards soon gained the recognition for which Johnston had hoped. To date, many prominent writers have received a California Book Award. In fact, literary historians credit The Commonwealth Club Book Awards as among the first to recognize the talent of John Steinbeck, who received three Gold Medals between 1935 and 1939. The Club became embroiled in controversy after awarding Steinbeck his third Gold
Medal for The Grapes of Wrath, which triggered a series of protests throughout the state. Although the Club was criticized for acknowledging a book which portrayed California in a poor light, eventually, The Grapes of Wrath silenced critics and became an American classic.
the years, several more categories have been added along with the inclusion of silver medals. Currently our categories consist of Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, Juvenile Literature, Young Adult Literature, First Work of Fiction, Californiana, and Notable Contribution to Publishing.
Today, the California Book Awards are one of the oldest literary awards in the United States. The Commonwealth Club has recognized over 600 California authors and publishers for outstanding contributions to the art of the written word.
THE SELECTION PROCESS
CATEGORIES AND AWARDS The California Book Awards strive to annually recognize the state’s best writers and illuminate the wealth and diversity of California-based literature. The California Book Awards began in 1931 with two gold medals – one for a work of fiction and one for nonfiction. Through
Each year, The Commonwealth Club receives hundreds of books from California’s rich literary community for award consideration. The California Book Awards Jury continues to uphold the same strict standards as the original 1931 jury and is comprised of 12-15 California professionals with a diverse range of views, backgrounds and literary experience The jury spends several months assessing entries, narrowing down the submitted works to a group of finalists, and lastly, selecting the medalists. The wealth of submissions reflects the ever impressive talent of writers in the Golden State.
