This is a list of unpublished books by notable people, alphabetized by author. These notable people may be published authors, but not necessarily.

Unpublished novels

Chris Chacko: The Lost Friend - A Memoir, left unfinished intentionally

Sholem Aleichem: Motl, Peysi the Cantor's Son, left unfinished at the time of his death

Charles Alverson: The Word, Caleb and Lost in Austin

Allen Appel: Sea of Time (1988), unpublished novel in the published Alex Balfour Pastmaster series

L. Frank Baum: Our Married Life (1912), Johnson (1912), The Mystery of Bonita (1914) and Molly Oodle (1915). Reported in Katherine Rogers' L. Frank Baum: Creator of Oz and Michael Patrick Hearn's The Annotated Wizard of Oz. According to Hearn, although not a published statement, The Mystery of Bonita is mentioned in contracts related to The Oz Film Manufacturing Company. The others are noted on file folders that once contained them and correspondence recovered from the Reilly & Lee offices, but the manuscripts themselves remain lost. The books were intended for adult readers and correspondence for the first of these, Our Married Life, indicates that, unlike his four published adult novels, he did not want these books to appear under a pseudonym. Frank Joslyn Baum's biography of L. Frank, To Please a Child, claims that Maud Gage Baum burned Baum's unpublished manuscripts; however, it is known that much of this biography was falsified after Frank J. and Maud's falling out (including Frank J. being dropped from Maud's will) over the rights to the Oz books.
