• Southern Connection: The author or setting should have a connection to the Southeastern United States.

• Subject: The subject of the book should be of interest to a broad range of people in the city and to people of various ages. It should stimulate discussion, raise community issues, and examine values. 

• Writing: The book should be well written with compelling issues, characters and themes.

• Author: The author should be available to attend a Roswell Reads event at a price within the Roswell Reads budget. Explore new authors. Research author’s speaking ability. 

• Availability: The book should be in print and readily available. (Ideally in paperback, electronic, audio and large type formats; affordable priced) 

• Length: Ideally, the book should range between 200 – 350 pages.

• Diversity: A variety of authors, subjects and themes should be explored.
