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 some highlights from this round:

  • Not one but TWO major publishing deals that could be the next WITCHER

  • The return of a drama powerhouse

  • A nonfiction narrative exploring the chaos of the Satanic Panic

As always, I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Best,
