Buzz Books has had a particularly stellar track record with highlighting the most talented, exciting and diverse debut authors, and this edition is no exception. Co-creator of the Emmy-winning series How I Met Your Mother, Carter Bays’ first novel is featured, along with Nishant Batsha, Jumi Bello, Melissa Chadburn, and Sopan Deb, and 13 other debut writers.

Our nonfiction selections cover such fascinating subjects as a symbolic World War II Marine Corps football game by Pulitzer-Prize winner Buzz Bissinger; a literary memoir of recovery from opioid addiction; a true crime story; and a primer on brain health.

Finally, we present early looks at new work from both established and up-and-coming young adult authors, among them: Dhonielle Clayton and Sona Charaipotra, the authors of Tiny Pretty Things, a Netflix original series; Sabaa Tahir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Ember in the Ashes series, which has been translated into over thirty-five languages; and Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author of six romance novels.
