We’re thrilled to announce that we’re officially in contract to publish Fellow Travelers by Jesse Bethea. Fellow Travelers was selected as the Grand Prize Winner of The Great Novel Contest 2019.

“Fellow Travelers is a fast-paced trip through time and into a world where everything has happened, is happening, and will happen. This science-fiction tale combines world-building and clever characters to craft a story that will keep readers engaged until the end. Amazing manuscript!”

— TGNC judge
