St. Martin’s Press will publish the book on February 9, 2021.

Booklist gave 2034 by Elliot Ackerman and James Stavridis a starred review, calling the book "[c]hilling yet compulsively readable work of speculative fiction…Ackerman and Stavridis have created a brilliantly executed geopolitical tale that is impossible to put down and that serves as a dire, all-too-plausible warning that recent events could have catastrophic consequences.” Meanwhile, Evan Osnos of The New York Times writes: "The scenarios evoked in 2034 are deeply informed and brutally plausible. Ackerman and Stavridis have lent their immense skills to a thriller we can’t afford to ignore. This is a precise and literary prophecy about muddled motives, tragic escalation, and the fantasies of greatness." Penguin Press will publish the book on March 9, 2021.

Cathy Park Hong's memoir MINOR FEELINGS has been named as one of Times Critic's Best Books of 2020. They write: "Hong’s book wanders a variegated terrain of memoir, criticism and polemic, oscillating between smooth proclamations of certainty and twitches of self-doubt. Citing the poet Claudia Rankine and the theorist Sianne Ngai, Hong distinguishes minor feelings from the major emotions that propel typical narrative arcs and moments of revelation." The books also appeared on the Washington Posts' 50 Notable Works of Nonfiction in 2020. One World published the book on February 25, 2020.

Kiese Laymon spoke about his acclaimed revised, remixed essay collection HOW TO SLOWLY KILL YOURSELF AND OTHERS IN AMERICA with PEN America as part of their The PEN Ten weekly interview series. When asked about the differences in tone between the new edition and the original, Laymon said: “The tone of the first one was sort of like ascendant bombast with lots of voices because it was so linear. This revision is still filled with lots of voices, but the tone is much more whispery, scared, to tell you the truth. It’s a call and response book that ends on a call into the ether. So, it’s more of a plea than the first one to me.” Scribner published the book on November 10, 2020.
