Every six months we create a catalogue of titles about to be published, aimed at the book trade. But this season, we thought we’d go straight to the source, and ask editors to give to readers a sneak preview of just some favourite titles they are currently working on for this coming Autumn.

reviewers: If you’d like a copy of our full catalogue in the paper edition, contact us at the usual email: editor@fifthestate.co.uk

Click on each jacket to hear the editor tell you the background to the book, and why we feel passionate about it.
