Welcome
We are delighted to welcome you to the Nautilus Book Awards, a community united by a belief in the transformative power of books.
​
For more than a quarter century, Nautilus has celebrated authors and publishers whose works awaken wisdom, deepen compassion, expand possibility, and inspire positive change in ourselves, our communities, and our living world.
​
As we enter a new chapter, we invite you to explore the books, voices, ideas, and questions that help illuminate what is possible.
​
Whether you are an author, publisher, reader, reviewer, or friend of Nautilus, thank you for being part of this growing community.
​
Together, we celebrate Better Books for a Better World.
Our Vision
A world transformed by books that awaken wisdom, deepen compassion, expand possibility, and inspire the flourishing of people, communities, and our living Earth.
The Nautilus Book Awards are named for the nautilus, whose beautiful, pearl-lined shell unfolds through chambers of increasing size as it grows. The nautilus symbolizes ancient wisdom and expanding horizons, the elegance and intelligence of nature, and the continual growth of understanding and awareness.
​
In this spirit, Nautilus honors books that invite us to grow: inwardly, in relationship with one another, in our care for Earth and all living systems, and in our capacity to imagine and consciously shape a better world.
