What authors and agents have said about Book Pipeline ...

"Since my debut novel Kill for Love won the Unpublished Contest, Book Pipeline has been instrumental in not only getting my book published, but also investing in my career and championing my writing. The Pipeline team introduced me to my amazing agent Nat Kimber at The Rights Factory and has been in my corner every step of the way. None of this would have been possible without their support and enthusiasm." - Laura Picklesimer (Unpublished Winner)

"Winning the Book Pipeline contest was the biggest career turbo-boost I could imagine. The Pipeline team really makes good on their offer to shepherd you and your project through every step of getting repped and published. They begin the minute you win and work tirelessly from that moment to make opportunities happen. I am beyond thrilled to have signed with Dani Segelbaum and The Carol Mann Agency, and I will be forever grateful to Book Pipeline for introducing us!" - Melissa Duge Spiers (Unpublished Winner)

"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. 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--with our debut novel set for publication with a publishing house we adore--without them.” - Jessi Honard & Marie Parks (Unpublished Winners)

“This was my first time seeing the projects from Pipeline. I was amazed at the quality and level of craft I saw from all of their submissions. But Aaron’s work was so high-concept and well-written, I had to make an offer!” - Amy Collins, Agent (Talcott Notch)

"I'm absolutely thrilled to be signing with Amy Collins at Talcott Notch. The folks at Pipeline were amazing in their support, helping me navigate my career, hooking me up with top industry professionals, and talking me off cliffs when my anxiety got the best of me. Pipeline's track record speaks for itself, but from first-hand experience, I can tell you: they care. They believe. Make you feel like part of a family. Can't thank the team enough." - Aaron Brooks (Unpublished Winner)
