Upcoming Release List

Upcoming books from Thriller & Mystery Author Directory members

What do we all have in common? We write books. And after we finish writing them, we want to publish those same books and get them in the hands of readers.

We are launching an Upcoming Releases List. If you have a book with a launch date, please sign up here.

The goal of the List is to help members promote their upcoming releases. If we work together, we can help each other:

• Find ARC readers

• Find a home for guest posts

• Publish editorial reviews

• Announce your book on Launch Day

The farther in the future your release date is, the better job we can do of shining some light on your next Book Baby.
