En 2006, la National Book Foundation estableció el premio 5 Under 35 para reconocer a escritores jóvenes de ficción debutantes cuyo trabajo prometía dejar una impresión duradera en el panorama literario. 5 Under 35 ha identificado a algunos de los escritores jóvenes más célebres de la actualidad. Entre los galardonados anteriores se encuentran Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, Brit Bennett, Akwaeke Emezi, Angela Flournoy, Phil Klay, Valeria Luiselli, C.E. Morgan, Téa Obreht, ZZ Packer, Karen Russell, Justin Torres, Bryan Washington, Claire Vaye Watkins, Tiphanie Yanique y Charles Yu.
Las 5 honradas menores de 35 años son escritores de todo el mundo, menores de 35 años, que han publicado su primer y único libro de ficción —ya sea una colección de cuentos o una novela— en los últimos cinco años. Las honradas son reconocidas en una ceremonia y reciben un premio de $1.000. Apoyar a los autores jóvenes al comienzo de sus carreras es parte de los esfuerzos de la Fundación para celebrar libros, promover la inclusión y atraer a más lectores.
Los 5 menores de 35 son seleccionados por autores previamente reconocidos por la National Book Foundation, ya sea por los National Book Awards o por la propia lista 5 Under 35.
