I'm beyond excited to share the cover for my debut novel THE GREAT WHEREVER, out next July!
Y'all, the designers at @henryholtbooks knocked it out of the park with this cover. Waiting to see the proofs was SO HARD (iykyk), and I was THRILLED to finally open the email and see this beauty. As you'll find out next July, it conveys so much so elegantly. Many thanks to @emilyjgriffin for putting up with my (sometimes over)eager input!
There's still a long time to wait, but I'm so happy to share this for now. (I will also put a preorder link, via @loyaltybooks, in my story.)

We're so delighted that Shannon Sanders's novel THE GREAT WHEREVER (@henryholtbooks) is the November pick for @reesesbookclub! If you're a new fan, don't miss her linked story collection COMPANY (you might even recognize one of the characters š). Winner of the 2023 Los Angeles Times Award for First Fiction, COMPANY is a richly detailed, brilliantly woven debut collection about the lives and lore of one Black family.

Cannot stress enough how many other things Iām supposed to be doing this week (see, for example, the unfolded laundry in frame), but sometimes you just have to knit coordinated kid sweaters for fall and thatās that

š Life's been a little busy lately, and I'm overdue for an October @reesesbookclub post... but thankfully, we have āš½ books to celebrate fall! We have #SophieStandingThere by Meg Mason, plus our newly announced November #RBC pick, #TheGreatWherever by @shannonsanderswrites! š¤©
š One is a coming-of-age story about a book lover who reconnects with her former self through her favorite authorās books, and the other is a multigenerational story set in the South about our inheritances and the relationships we have with our past, present, and future. š³ For me, it says life has unexpected twists and turns, and sometimes you need a few good page-turners to get you through the busyness and blessings that get thrown your way.
š«¶š½ So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving and cozy autumns with sweater weather: to those of you who have stuck around to see what Iām reading with Reeseās Book Club, thank you. To those of you who are with me through lifeās hurdles and happiness, thank you. To those of you who love me and all of my books, ballroom, blessings, Broadway, and beyond⦠thank you! š„° You all help me see more in myself than I can ever muster or that an algorithm can try to convince me.
Now⦠pick up a good book (maybe youāll connect with us on RBCās socials, or @WhatsApp @Substack, or @AppleBooks) and as @DanielleRobay would say on the #Bookmarked podcast, āsee you in the next chapterā. š¤ I am praying that itās gonna be a good one.

This week on @blkandpublished #podcast @shannonsanderswrites comes through to discuss her debut novel THE GREAT WHEREVER.
Itās a generational family saga about a thirty-something woman living in D.C. who suddenly learns she has a stake in a century-old family farm.
In our conversation, Shannon discusses the dangers of leaving behind your place and your people. Plus, why she doesnāt believe fiction can truly correct the historical record.
