For nearly 20 years, Franklin Leonard has made it his mission to help undiscovered writers find an audience. In 2005, he started the Black List — an annual survey of Hollywood’s best unproduced screenplays. Since its launch, it has become an indispensable tool for studios and producers. More than 400 screenplays that landed on the Black List’s survey have been produced, including acclaimed films like “Spotlight,” “Slumdog Millionaire” and “The King’s Speech.”

Now, Leonard is tackling another industry: publishing. Aspiring novelists can now post manuscripts on the Black List, where they can potentially get discovered by the literary agents, editors and publishers who subscribe to the site. The goal, Leonard said, is to create a new avenue for authors whose work may have gone overlooked because they lack a literary agent or the right industry connections.

This lack of visibility, Leonard said, “has really negative consequences for the writers who are trying to get their work to somebody who can do something with it, but also for the publishing industry itself, because it’s not necessarily finding the best writers and the best books.”

We have joined a lawsuit alongside Penguin Random House, Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins Publishers, Simon & Schuster, and Sourcebooks against Florida public officials, challenging sweeping book removal provisions of HB 1069, an education law that restricts books in school libraries. We continue to be steadfast in our commitment to stand with authors, librarians, teachers, booksellers, and fellow readers to oppose book banning wherever it takes place in our country.
