'We moved to New York to want undisturbed and unchecked. And what did we want?'

Rose and Charlotte arrive in 1990s New York, fresh out of university and fizzing with ambition. When they end up working at the same music magazine, Charlotte – earnest, bookish – is wary of brash, outspoken Rose. But hesitancy soon gives way to a unique friendship that will change both girls forever.

As smart and comic as it is gloriously exuberant, Girls They Write Songs About by Carlene Bauer takes a timeless story and turns it into a pulsing, wrecking, clear-eyed tale of two friends reckoning with the lives they've chosen, and the countless ways all the women they've known have made them who they are.

Finished copies are here, ready for publication next week, and we're obsessed - and is it just us, or does it have the best title ever??

Welcome to The Rabbit Hutch. 🐇

Feast your eyes on the cover reveal for The Rabbit Hutch by Tess Gunty, a bitingly funny, razor-sharp debut about a motley assortment of residents in a crumbling apartment block.

Trust us when we say you won't want to miss this one!

An online obituary writer. A young mother with a secret. A woman waging a solo campaign against rodents. Separated by the thin walls of The Rabbit Hutch, a low-cost housing complex in the run-down Indiana town of Vacca Vale, these individual lives unfold.

But Blandine isn't like the other residents of her building. Ethereally beautiful and formidably intelligent, she spends her hours reading Dante and dreaming about becoming a female mystic.

Until, that is, three sweltering days in July culminate in an act of violence that will change everything, and finally offer her a chance to escape. Savage and hilarious, The Rabbit Hutch is a piercing look at the power structures that shape us, and the tale of a young woman with irrepressible strength.

Coming this July! Call-out for proofs coming soon 👀

‘If there’s any justice, Solito will someday be considered a classic.’ Rumaan Alam

Young Javier dreams of eating orange sherbet ice cream with his parents in the United States. For this to happen, he must embark on a three-thousand-mile journey alone. It should last only two weeks. But it takes seven.

In limbo, Javier learns what people will do to survive – and what they will forfeit to save someone else. This is a memoir of perilous boat trips, relentless desert treks, and pointed guns. But it is also a story of tasting tacos for the first time, of who passes you their water jug in the crippling heat, and of longing to be in your mother’s arms.

Solito by @jzsalvipoet is a stunning memoir, published in hardback this September. Proofs are available for request - send us a DM.

'I have seen ghosts. They will not rest. The whispers of the past are all around...'

Sweeping from the bustling beaches of contemporary Lima to local ceviche bars crammed with fishermen, music and folklore; from the rise and fall of the Inca Empire to a civil war that will devastate a nation, The Dust Never Settles is a love letter to Peru.

As Anaïs prepares to say a final goodbye to her childhood home in Lima, the 'yellow house on the hill', she is haunted by memories. Dark truths of previous generations are hidden behind these crumbling walls – secrets that threaten to overwhelm her...

The Dust Never Settles is published in paperback in just two weeks
