We are so thrilled to announce that Amanda Coplin, author of
The Orchardist, was recognized as a “5
under 35” honoree by the National Book Foundation. This distinction is awarded to five promising
young fiction writers selected by previous National Book Award winners and
finalists. Coplin was chosen by Louise
Erdrich, who won a National Book Award in 2012 for The Round House. The Orchardist has also received a
Starred Review from Library Journal
and was chosen as Costco’s Pick of the Month this past
August by Pennie Ianniciello.
To celebrate this wonderful achievement, we’re
giving away copies of The Orchardist
to the first 20 people who send an email to librarylovefest@harpercollins.com. You don’t want to miss out on the
opportunity to read this outstanding novel by such a talented young author. Congratulations, Amanda! We can’t wait to see what the
future has in store for you.
