You may have already heard of the 2010 Debut Author Challenge by The Story Siren. If not, definitely check it out! More info, snatched from Kristi:
What will be happening during the challenge?
This year I’ve planned ways to get more “interactive” participation.
- I’ll have a post every month were participants can enter links to their reviews to gain entries for some fantastic prizes.
- I’ll be spotlighting authors, with interviews and guest posts throughout the month. If you comment on any of these posts you will also gain you an entry into the monthly prize packs!
- I’ll be featuring a list of 2010 debut novels each month, for their releases.
- And of course I’ll be posting reviews of my own for the challenge. If you comment on any of these you can also gain an extra entry into the monthly prize packs!
I’m seeing my debut Other on quite a few lists so far… from Tattooed Books to Mindful Musings to Black and Blue Ink, to name a few. Thanks so much, guys!
Things I’m thankful for, limited to the online world of literature, and in no particular order, with tongue-in-cheek:
-
Editor B, for his humor and amazing input on all sorts of things, and for putting up with my quirky jokes.
-
Agent S, for being fabulously professional and savvy at all times, and for using exclamation marks in emails.
-
Jackie Dolamore, for replying to my first curious email, being a great penpal for many years, and letting me read Magic Under Glass.
-
Jackson Pearce, for being another writing confidante back when I was just a noob, and for letting me read As You Wish.
-
Marj Watkins, for being one of my first critique buddies ever, from Critters, and for letting me read Rotaida and the Runestone.
-
Robin Prehn, for her unfailing optimism and kindness in the online world.
-
Karen Mahoney and Chandra Rooney, for general awesomeness, and for reading my fortune and being scarily accurate.
-
The Tenners, for containing so many badass 2010 debut authors, and for such supportiveness.
-
Book bloggers, for their enthusiasm and help. You guys, combined, may be more excited about Other than I am. Really.
-
And, uh, Twitter, for possessing a black-hole-like ability to suck up all my stray bits of free time.
-
Etc.! Even if you’re not on this list, you know who you are.
