Hello again!

Welcome back 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 the ones I’m most excited about:

  • A groundhog day-type YA that takes place on prom night

  • A sweet prep school novel that take places at a supernatural boarding institution where the students themselves are being studied

  • A horror novel (sold in a major sale!) about a police detective investigating a serial killer stalking a summer resort - where no one seems to have a problem with the danger.

As always, I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Best,

TIP
