Get the Word Out: 2023 Fiction Cohort

Poets & Writers is pleased to share the new titles authored by the writers selected for the current fiction cohort for Get the Word Out, a unique publicity incubator for early career authors. In fall 2023, we selected ten fiction writers with their first books slated for publication and, over a twelve-week intensive workshop led by publicist May Zhee Lim, helped them develop and execute a publicity plan to maximize the exposure of their first book, reach readers, and propel their literary careers.

 

Join us for a celebratory reading of their work on Friday, February 23, 2024 at 7:00 PM ET. This event is free. Click here for more info and to RSVP.
 

Get the Word Out was developed with funding from Leonard and Louise Riggio, with additional support from Macmillan Publishers.
