Premio del Círculo de Críticos Nacional del Libro
# Premio del Círculo de Críticos Nacional del Libro

El Premio del Círculo de Críticos Nacional del Libro o en inglés el National Book Critics Circle Award es un galardón que entrega el Círculo de Críticos Nacional del Libro (NBCC) para promover los mejores libros y revistas publicada en inglés.

Se otorgan en seis categorías: Ficción, No Ficción, Poesía, Autobiografía, Biografía, y Crítica. Estos premios no son entregados a títulos publicados en inglés, como nuevas versiones de textos antiguos. Hay libros que no son considerados en estas categorías, como los de cocina, de autoayuda (incluso literatura inspiracional), de referencia, de imágenes o infantiles. Sin embargo, los títulos a ser galardonados pueden ser traducciones, historias cortas o colecciones de ensayos, o cualquier título que pueda entrar en las categorías mencionadas.
