Hello again,

If you’re new here, welcome to our weekly publishing roundup! This is where we highlight newly announced books that Hollywood buyers and producers should be keeping an eye on.

Here are some of my favorites from this batch:

A YA novel about cheerleaders pulling a heist
TWO horror novels with a fresh take on the haunted house trope
A reverse coming-of-age literary novel following a mother who begins masquerading as her own daughter
The return of the ’New Adult’ categorization. I guess the publishing industry is giving it another go!

As always, I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Best,

TIP
