Book-lovers needed

The Doll Parts Street Team is about to launch. Are you in?

Hello and welcome! I am Penny Zang, an author and English professor. Start here to learn more about Mourning Pages, where I write about books and writing, which means I’m also writing about grief and, you know, life.

My debut novel, Doll Parts, will be published by Sourcebooks in August 2025. You can add it on Goodreads.

I will keep this message quick, with a longer newsletter coming out later this week.

I am putting together a “street team” to help build hype and share news about DOLL PARTS leading up to its publication date in August 2025. You are invited to join the team (in exchange for a few bookish perks and my unending gratitude).

I’ll send the first “mission” in the next week or so. All you have to do is sign up if you’re interested!

All readers are welcome but especially if you like suspense, dark academia, and stories about friendship. Sign up for the DOLL PARTS street team here!
