The Next Novelist

The Next Novelist gives readers the power to choose which aspiring authors get their big break and which books should hit the shelves.

The Next Novelist is a Cambridge, MA based company aiming to give readers the power to determine what books should be published instead of large publishing houses. Every year, authors write tens of thousands of books, but most of them will never gain broader readership because publishing houses determine they're not worthy.
