In November 2025, the 76th National Book Awards Ceremony & Benefit Dinner will take place in New York City. The event, which celebrates the literary world's biggest night, will be hosted by actor Jeff Hiller, who released his memoir earlier this year.
Adding to the excitement, two-time Grammy Award-winning artist Corinne Bailey Rae will be performing at the ceremony. Rae, who is an avid reader, is also set to debut her first children's picture book, "Put Your Records On," inspired by her hit song, in early 2026.

The ceremony raises funds for the National Book Foundation's educational and public programming, which connects readers of all ages to extraordinary literary experiences.
