These are all great books, done dirty by an incompetent publisher. Many of them sold very well on zero marketing!
Help these authors have the careers they deserve. RT these posts, and agents / publishers — get in touch in the DMs and I’ll intro you

We have nonfiction! Sanjana Feasts should be massive, it’s a vegetarian/vegan cookbook by an author with a huge social media following. Michael Smith’s medieval translations need the Beowulf treatment. Someone can make 13th century werewolf fic work, right? Especially with the Robt Eggers film soon

We have general fiction! I am BEGGING someone to pick up these four books, they are each fantastic (technically it’s five, Helen’s Judgement has a sequel). They all have huge bestseller potential if actually marketed
If any of the books in this thread appeal to you, DM me and I’ll put you in touch

Are you an agent or a publisher looking to add to your list? There are FANTASTIC authors left in the lurch by Unbound who need homes for their existing bools and for sequels / new books. A thread, grouped by genre. Please reskeet!

You may have heard that the book publisher Unbound has collapsed into a big hole and taken everybody's money with it. If you're interested in the nifty and eclectic books which got shafted, keep an eye on therebounded.substack.com which will be telling you about them & where you can get them.

If there is one piece of good news from the Unbound publishing debacle, it is that agents and publishers have a chance to take on some amazing agents and books. This is where you find out about them....
