Debutiful is taking a week off. We’ll be back in 2023!
There are plenty of First Taste already recorded, but PLEASE reply to this tweet if you’re a debut author who would love to read ~5 minutes of your debut that came out in 2021, 2022, or will come out in 2023!
No offense to American designers (because they’re gorgeous) but sign me up for this UK trend. Very into the frame, simple typography, and photos used.

This coming National Poetry Month in April will feature Debutiful’s first ever^ official poetry coverage. If you have a debut poetry collection that came out in 2023/24 or will come out before December 2024, please leave a comment of **the title, poet name, release date** below!

@debutiful
podcast today feels like the perfect way to celebrate 6 months of ALL-NIGHT PHARMACY (other than, like, chasing your psychic lover across eastern europe)
Marisa Crane’s debut is magnificent and imaginative. The dystopian book is very queer and beautifully written.
Coming in January 2023.

Debutiful turns five in January and we figured we’d celebrate with primary colors and funky shapes like we’re headed to kindergarten!
We’re adding some video, a newsletter, and some goodies still under lock and key in 2024. Let’s make this the best year ever!
Busy week here at Debutiful:

THANKFUL FOR ALL OF THE WRITERS WHO LET ME BE PART OF THEIR STORY! And to all of the agents, publicists, and editors who trusted me enough with their authors. AND TO THE READERS WHO DISCOVERED DEBUT AUTHORS WITH ME FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS. Love you all. Xoxo, Adam

Debutiful was supposed to have 12 monthly podcast episodes this year.
Today was the 28th episode. If you discovered a single debut author through the podcast, please consider leaving a review wherever you review podcasts.
Dear authors (debut or not) who have book events and tours canceled,
If you wanted to do a digital book tour reading and short Q&A, I’ll do a special podcast series! Or record a Skype video call so readers can still see you!
Love y’all,
Adam

Coming soon: an “Ask Me Anything” virtual panel featuring 4 authors who published on an indie or university press. We hope to demystify the publishing process to emerging (and seasoned) writers.
Like this tweet and you’ll get a personalized invitation to the MARCH 29th event!
Over the weekend, Debutiful hit 30,000 combined website readers and podcast listeners.
There’s a lot of literary sites out there who do it better and more creatively than me. But I’m just a guy, sitting in his underwear, asking you to discover debut authors.
Much love.
Headed to
