Welcome to the Debutiful’s Most Anticipated Debut Books of 2024, Part One! This preview will cover a wide array of debut novels, debut story collections, and debut memoirs that are to be published between January and June. Some feature writers who recently published their first book but are debuting in a new genre and those books will be noted as such.
A majority of these books were read by founder Adam Vitcavage in late 2023, others are ones he is currently in the middle of, and finally, there a select few that are ones he is desperate to get his hands on based on the buzz generated by others who have read them including previous Debutiful authors and booksellers across America.
In the end, 60 titles across the first six months of 2024 were listed. Sit back, relax, and get ready for a damn good debut book year.
As always, you can pre-order each book at Debutiful’s Bookshop.org page, which will help fund the website and podcast while keeping it ad-free!

Last year, after the Best Debut Books of 2022 came out, someone asked me what makes a debut book stand out. I responded, like I often do on the podcast, that it’s all about the vibe. Does it make me feel cozy? Do I want to live in the world for one reason or another? Whether it’s a dystopian horror or a sex-fueled romp, it’s really all about the writing. Is it damn good? That’s what I want.
I also have to have read it. I think often times readers view lists as a monolith of what the best books of the year were. Debutiful’s list will be very different from other lists because it’s Debutiful’s POV that is captured here. There are hundreds of debut books published and, on average, I can read around 150 titles. This list isn’t the end all be all, but if you read and listen to Debutiful, I think these are the best debuts that people who discover debut authors via Debutiful will enjoy.
This year’s best debut debut books feature a wide variety of style, tone, and genre.
You can support Debutiful by purchasing the books listed from our Bookshop.org page.
