Have you heard the news? Last week, we released the gorgeous covers for our first five Zibby Books Spring 2023 releases, and we’re still not over how amazing they all are! We can’t wait for all of them to be out in the world and in your hands. Take a look, pre-order them now (!), and hear what the authors have to say about their books.

My What If Year by Alisha Fernandez Miranda

“When two of my BFFs suggested I turn my internship plan into a book, I thought it would make a viable excuse for what seemed like a bonkers idea. We even had a working title – The 40-Year-Old Intern – that was catchy and cute. I dismissed it at first, but sure enough, the need to write about my experience after it happened grew too big to ignore. And now, friends, the journey has brought us here.” —Alisha

Women Are The Fiercest Creatures by Andrea Dunlop

“This book will forever be tied to my experience of becoming a mother: I began writing it while I was pregnant with Fiona and finished it while pregnant with Colum. It’s the story of two moms who face off with their ex–a charming, manipulative tech CEO who has tried to write their contributions out of history. Meanwhile, his much younger wife has a new baby and is facing the reality of parenting with a man who thinks only of himself. This book is about the incredible power and strength of becoming a mother and the constant obstacles that the world throws at women.” —Andrea

Burst by Mary Otis

“BURST illuminates a complex mother-daughter relationship, artistic ambition, and addiction and its inheritances. Spanning three decades, the novel explores themes of wonder and shame, longing and will. BURST originated from my short story “Flight,” and once it was published in Zyzzyva, I thought I was done with the characters, but apparently, they weren’t done with me.” —Mary

Super Bloom by Megan Tady

“This book is for readers who want to guffaw loudly in public, scaring people sitting next to them. For the heartbroken who’ve been told they’ve been grieving too long. For workers in the spa industry with war stories to tell. For people who want to know: What’s my massage therapist thinking?

For anyone who has a secret talent coiled in their hearts, waiting to bloom for all to see.” —Megan

Hedge by Jane Delury

“HEDGE asks the questions I often discuss with my friends. What does it mean to be a good mother? How do you strike that balance between family and ambition, maternal love and romantic love, independence, and community? As our protagonist Maud restores hidden gardens in both the Hudson Valley and San Francisco, she unearths many secrets, some her own.” —Jane
