Six 2025-2026 Debuts

Virginia Evans: The Correspondent (2025)

Virginia Evans is my current favorite debut author! She wrote eight novels before she published her first novel The Correspondent, and she deserves the Most Persistent Award! I’ve created a FREE Book Club Kit for The Correspondent.

Allen Levi: Theo of Golden (2025)

Another author to top the list of debuts I’ve enjoyed! I created a FREE Book Club Kit for Theo of Golden.

  1. Great choices! I loved The Correspondent and A Man Called Ove, wasn’t so keen on Homegoing. I think I’d need to have Matt Coyne’s Frank and Red on a debut list. Plus The Correspondent of course!
