Through meetings facilitated by Book Pipeline, 2020 Unpublished Sci-Fi/Fantasy category finalists Jessi Honard & Marie Parks were published by Not a Pipe Publishing for their contemporary fantasy novel, Unrelenting.
The book released in 2022.
“As debut authors, it's so hard to stand out without someone standing behind you, and that's exactly what Book Pipeline has done for us," Jessi and Marie said. "They've helped us make important connections, they've advocated for us, and they've made it clear they're investing in our entire careers. We couldn't be more thrilled or grateful for the opportunity to have their support. It's more than we ever imagined when we first entered the contest. We wouldn't be where we are now without them.”
