Unsolicited Press Announces Acquisitions for Future Publishing Seasons

Our team spent the past summer choosing beyond-fantastic manuscripts. After reviewing thousands of submissions, contracts were offered to authors who exhibited strong, diverse, and fearless voices. These decisions weren't made without a few sacrifices and tears along the way...the pandemic has forced us to take on less -- but we are looking at that as an opportunity to work harder and smarter for the authors we are lucky to collaborate alongside.
