The 24 hottest debuts of 2023 so far

The 24 hottest debuts of 2023 so far

With more bold new novelists on our radar than we can begin to count, we can safely say that 2023 is shaping up to be a true celebration of storytelling. In fact, many of these emerging writers explore the significance of the debut novel itself within their work. Collectively, their fresh perspectives cover every aspect of the publishing process, from the adrenaline-inducing atmosphere of entering a writer’s retreat to the tenacity that finding the right literary agent requires, and so much more. In addition to expanding upon timeless themes such as belonging, obsession, and the necessity of dreaming, this year's lineup of extraordinary debuts has it all: fair-trade avocados, glitches in the multiverse, and, most important, the momentum it takes to help define a moment.
