Book Releases Delayed Due to COVID-19 Pandemic

Share

Obviously it isn’t just the book world that has been rocked by the COVID-19 pandemic, but for authors with books coming out in 2020, it has certainly changed the landscape. Authors with debuts amidst self-quarantine orders have had to find creative ways to host book release parties online and some bookish conventions have even gone digital. But for other authors, the pandemic has meant book releases being delayed due to COVID-19.
As the pandemic continues, more publishers may make the decision to push book releases, but with the help of authors over on Twitter and this extremely helpful running list of delayed books, I’ve put together a semi-comprehensive list new released dates. Be sure to support these authors by preordering their books, requesting copies from your local library, and hyping up their books on Instagram, Twitter, or however else you like to support your fave authors. We book lovers have to stick together right now!
