Daniel Pope has won the 2024 University of New Orleans Press Publishing Lab Prize! His winning manuscript, Go Help Yourself, is set for publication in Spring 2026.
A gripping exploration of obsession and loneliness in the vein of Gabe Habash’s Stephen Florida with the sharp comic edge of Gabriel Smith’s Brat, Go Help Yourself examines the American fascination with self-help, pop psychology, and compulsive dieting through the poignant lens of a troubled mother-son relationship.
