This is a list of Nebula winners for best novel, including ratings for those books that I've read and links to reviews where I've written one. The Nebula award is voted on by the membership of the Science Fiction Writers of America. The date given on this page is the year that the award was given, since I standardize all awards to the year of the award. It will therefore be one year later than the official date on the award, which reflects publication date.
The eligibility rules for the Nebula were changed in 2009 to include only books published the previous year. Prior to 2009, the eligibility rules were more complex but generally allowed books published in the preceding two years.

Ratings for books that don't have a review are based on my memory of the book. The rating may well change if I get a chance to read the book again.
