Marine biologist and debut author Jasmin Graham was featured in the New York Times, The Washington Post, and the Free Times discussing her memoir SHARKS DON'T SINK, as well as the particular challenges and triumphs of being a Black woman in shark science. Meanwhile, The Tampa Bay Times raves: "Graham has become something of a shark celebrity, talking about her work on Shark Week documentaries and YouTube. But in this uplifting memoir, the sharks and the scientists who overcome bigotry to learn about them are the stars." SHARKS DON’T SINK was one of The Root's "July 2024 Books By Black Authors We Can't Wait to Read," and an excerpt was published on Lit Hub. Graham appeared on both the Today Show and CBS Mornings to promote the book at the time of its release—one stop on her 13-city tour— and she was interviewed on NPR’s On Point and Science Friday radio shows, as well as WHYY’s The Pulse, and on the Stuff to Blow Your Mind, Just the Zoo of Us, and All Creatures podcasts. Pantheon published SHARKS DON'T SINK on July 16, 2024.

Ryan Chapman’s novel THE AUDACITY received a terrific shoutout in a piece by Lisa Levy for The Washington Post highlighting three novels furthering the thriller genre’s interest in cults. Levy praises THE AUDACITY’S edgy takedown of late capitalism, writing: “At its core, THE AUDACITY is a satire of corporate culture — corporate culture being propaganda developed to make devotion to the company seem like it will lead to lots of money and larger fulfillment. Chapman contradicts this and floats the provocative idea that ridiculous individual wealth might be capitalism taking its last breath…Chapman’s skewering of the rich, the very rich and the ultrarich as they debate the world’s ills is as incisive as it is hilarious.” Soho Press published the novel on April 2, 2024.

Debutiful featured an interview with Sheila Sundar, where Adam Vitcavage calls the book “a deeply moving story about motherhood, immigration, and loss,” adding: “It quickly became a favorite book about motherhood that falls in line with NIGHTBITCH, THE NURSURY, and THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD MOTHERS. What makes this book so exquisite is how subtle and supple Sundar’s writing is. She crafts keen dialogue where you feel you’re in the room with her characters talking. She also allows moments of joy and grief to coexist without pushing one out of the way. The world she allows readers to inhabit is informative both emotionally and intellectually.” HABITATIONS was published by Simon & Schuster on April 2, 2024.
