about
The Nonfiction Hotlist curates and champions exceptional nonfiction storytelling, connecting storytellers with audiences, industry opportunities, and sustainable pathways to success.
Through thoughtful curation, community building and strategic partnerships, the Nonfiction Hotlist has become an essential platform for the nonfiction ecosystem—proving that quality can reach massive audiences when supported with the right infrastructure.
Exceptional nonfiction storytelling changes how we see the world. Too many powerful projects never get the chance to be made.
The Nonfiction Hotlist was created to change that.
values
We lead with generosity, respect, and thoughtful relationship-building.
We convene rather than gatekeep, creating spaces where storytellers, funders, and audiences engage directly with projects and each other.
We believe collaboration within a community creates alchemy impossible to replicate, and building with a village leads to the best work.
