🎉🎉🎉Can you believe it?! This month we celebrate TEN YEARS of Broadside PR! What started with Michael, Whitney, and Kimberly in 2015 continues now with Michael, Whitney, Kimberly, Sarah Jean, and Kate. Since Day One we’ve had the privilege to work only with authors and books we are passionate about and it’s made the years fly by. Thank you to the authors, in-house teams, agents, literary media, and heck the entire publishing industry for your enthusiasm and support over the years. Huzzah for ten amazing years! 🎉🎉🎉
Wonderful to see Broadside PR authors and books included in TIME’s “25 Best Books That Capture This American Moment.” Min Jin Lee, Angela Duckworth, Laila Lalami, Luis Alberto Urrea, and The Friends of Attention have a keen understanding of our time and literary history. ⏳⏰🕰️

Close out National Poetry Month with Aimee Nezhukumatathil’s NIGHT OWL, a luminous collection of poems about the transformative power of the night. It’s been an extraordinary pub month—from having Hazelnut the Eastern Screech Owl at her packed launch event to gracing the cover of American Poetry Review—and we are so grateful for the sense of wonder Aimee spreads wherever she goes!
Raves all around for Craig Fehrman’s THIS VAST ENTERPRISE: A New History of Lewis & Clark, on sale now! The New York Times calls it a “page-turner and fantastic achievement” and the Boston Globe says it’s a “ripping good read.” 💯💥🏔️😍
Cheers to the glorious Jung Yun and her beautiful novel All the World Can Hold (37Ink), which takes place on a cruise ship that leaves for Bermuda on September 16, 2001. "Yun is a sharp-eyed, subtle writer" (Hamilton Cain, Boston Globe) who "unveils the heart of her characters" (Library Journal) "with a discerning eye for the details that matter... The dialogue is so true to life that there are times when it is nearly unbearable (in the best possible way)" (Bookpage). Pick this one up if you're a fan of Elizabeth Strout or Anne Tyler! 📚🛳️☀️
Huge congratulations to Namwali Serpell, Madeliene Thien, and all the 2026 Guggenheim Fellows! Can’t wait to see what’s next from these masterful creatives! 💫
