The Black List Helped Reshape Hollywood. Can It Change Publishing?
Briefly

Franklin Leonard started the Black List to help undiscovered writers find an audience, evolving it into a vital platform for screenplays and, now, novel manuscripts.
The Black List's expansion into publishing seeks to address the issue of overlooked authors, offering a space for writers without agents to gain visibility.
Leonard emphasizes that the current lack of visibility in publishing not only harms aspiring writers but also limits the industry from discovering the best talent.
By adding novel manuscripts, the Black List aims to provide new opportunities for authors, ultimately benefiting both the writers and the publishing ecosystem.
