Wallpaper featured Rosecrans Baldwin's EVERYTHING NOW on their list of “Architecture Books to Inspire Shelf Love.” They write: "Rosecrans Baldwin is a talented writer who is intrigued, rather than infuriated, by [Los Angeles’] eccentricities. Like many of his creative peers, he’s not a native Angeleno, but as an accomplished essayist and writer of fiction, Baldwin’s outsider status gives him a perfect vantage point to challenge, embrace or confront what it means to live in LA in the 21st century...This episodic piece of narrative non-fiction sub-divides the urban experience into personal vignettes, filtered through the city’s copious literature and the many voices Baldwin meets on his quest to understand LA.” MCD will publish the book on June 15, 2021.

Rumaan Alam, New York Times bestselling author of LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND, writes: "REPRIEVE takes horror as its subject, while also using the genre as its means, delivering twists and fright and the kind of storytelling that keeps you turning pages. But the brilliance of James Han Mattson’s novel is in deploying the haunted house as a metaphor for our nation, where the true scare is a cultural reckoning with whiteness itself.” William Morrow will publish the novel on October 5, 2021.

Jodie Patterson spoke with Scary Mommy about BORN READY, and the importance of “broadening the scope of trans representation for kids and their families.” Patterson told the interviewer: [t]he reason why I wanted to write BORN READY was so that families and classrooms could share this with young eyes. Oftentimes, the adult conversation is discussing ideas that we’re interested in. But younger people have passed that, or they don’t even hold on to some of the same issues that we have as adults. So I didn’t want to put old ideas on new minds. For children to really have a positive story, a triumphant story without much of the weight that adults bring to the conversation around gender and transgender.” Crown Books for Young Readers published the book on April 20, 2021.
