The Complete Fall/Winter Buzz Books Titles

May 5, 2016By Michael Cader

As we previewed in brief on Monday, our new free ebook Buzz Books 2016: Fall/Winter boasts another amazing line-up of authors you love along with over a dozen highly-touted debut voices, with substantial pre-publication excerpts of each. Why rely on reviews and hype when you can try the books themselves? WhetherbuzzFW16 you are preparing for BEA or skipping it entirely, Buzz Books lets you sample some of the best forthcoming books right now. To get the trade editions — with publicity and marketing info, and click-throughs for full galleys, get an EPUB file from us or go to NetGalley for any platform (or find it on Edelweiss).

To get — and share — the consumer versions, you can find it on all the major ebookstore platforms (the “download” button here links to them all). And sharing is an important part of the Buzz Books effect. After five years, we have developed a network of passionate readers who love our samplers and use them to fill their pre-orders and TBR lists (and we amplify that with targeted digital marketing to keep building that roster for everyone’s benefit). So join us via #BuzzBooks16 and help bring the excitement of the fall season to readers everywhere.

Here is the complete list of the terrific authors and excerpts featured in our new edition:
