We consult a number of sources in compiling our weekly lists and PM members can see our lists for the coming months on Bookshop. Check out May‘s 119 fiction releases, 70 works of nonfiction, and 43 children’s titles; June‘s 73 fiction releases, 9 works of nonfiction, and 17 children’s titles; and July‘s 151 fiction releases, 46 works of nonfiction, and 34 children’s titles.

But if you want to make sure your key titles are on our radar, now you can use this form to submit brief details as well: publun.ch/submitNotable. Please submit your notable titles at least 3 months prior to pub date and limit your submissions to selected, notable titles each season only; otherwise it’s too much for us to consider.
