Hello again!

I hope everyone had an inspiring Juneteenth! Why not keep the spirit alive by ordering yourself a book from The Key Bookstore, Octavia’s Bookshelf, or Sistah Sci-Fi? Be sure to sign up for their newsletters too!

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 from this week I’m excited about:

  • A comedy-mystery pitched as if David Rose from SCHITT’S CREEK became a detective

  • A YA drama about a girl enrolling in a prestigious ballet academy

  • A Rom-com about a woman who wishes to live in a romance novel, but ends up in a crime thriller

  • A book about how to protect yourself from psychic attacks! Haha just kidding but that is a real book that’s going to be published, apparently

As always, I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

All best,

TIP
