unpublished manuscripts
Unreleased written works
Unpublished manuscripts are written works that have not been printed or distributed to the public—drafts, journals, letters, or completed works that never found a publisher.
Scholars prize them for revealing an author's process or preserving material the author chose not to release: The archive contains unpublished manuscripts from her early career.
In legal contexts, unpublished manuscripts may have different copyright protections than published works.
