Melissa is absolutely right. We might be traditionally published, and we might occasionally break out with a bestseller, but midlist authors are often neglected by publishers while the big titles suck up all the oxygen. There are some brave and exciting books out there that deserve a lot more hype!
Recent midlist SFF books that deserve everything:
The Tales of the Plains trilogy by @davewragg.com
The Works of Vermin by @hironennes.bsky.social
Seven Recipes for Revolution by @ryanprose.bsky.social
A bit older but The Graven trilogy by @essahansen.bsky.social
🙌
This is why more books should be set on tropical islands...
If you inhaled A RELUCTANT SPY like I did, you will want to get on this one pronto
You would not want to miss it!
