2027

For fifteen years, Unsolicited Press has published the books we couldn't stop thinking about. 2027 keeps the vibe going. This year's list travels through bodies, ghosts, sex, shame, family, fire, memory, art, survival, language, desire, reinvention, politics, and whatever happens after the afterlife.

Some of these writers are returning to Unsolicited Press. Others are joining us for the first time. All of them made something we wanted in the world.

Welcome to 2027.
