In the pages that follow readers find our editors’ selections of notable fall titles across 20 categories, culled from the boffo assemblage of the entire fall season that can be found at publishersweekly.com/announcements. The full aggregation includes nearly 14,000 titles from nearly 1,400 publishers and imprints for the period August 1, 2013, through January 31, 2014. These include children’s titles, selected listings of which will appear in our July 15 Fall Children’s Announcement issue. Readers are encouraged to visit the full aggregation, where they can browse the titles submitted by using a variety of helpful filters—by publisher, imprint, subject category, publication date, and format.
Back to our editors’ picks. Each editor was asked to assess an entire subject category and select 45–60 titles of particular interest, and to select 10 of those as the top titles to look for in the coming months. We hope this gives everyone in the business a notion of what lies ahead and what to look for with particular interest. It certainly can give one a sense of what the country’s concerns and enjoyments are, from health care to climate change to sports heroes and erotic romance. Fall into the autumn season at once.
