While every member of the Class of 2k8 is a debut children's/YA author, we aren't all *totally* new to the world of publishing. In fact, we've spent hundreds of years (altogther, duh!) scribbling and submitting, and we've published lots and lots of books. From academic textbooks to anthologies, romantic comedies to quiet collections of poetry.
Of particular interest to blog-readers might be this gem, just out from Walker yesterday!
The Ultimate Teen Book Guide
The Ultimate Teen Book Guide is a review guide covering over 700 books for teens. Contributors include award-winning authors such as Nancy Werlin and 2k7's Sara Zarr, best-selling authors Meg Cabot and Christopher Paolini, debut authors (2k8's Debbie Reed Fischer), and many more. Articles and reviews by teachers, librarians, editors and teens make this book a must-have for any book-lover. Whether you like fantasy, horror, chick lit, graphic novels, sci-fi, or crime, there's something for everyone. Readers will also enjoy the top ten lists and surveys. Each rave review comes with suggestions for what to read next, so with more than 1,000 recommended books total, you'll never be without a good book again!
That's right! Our own Debbie Reed Fischer is a contributor! W00T!
How does she find the time? We have *no* idea... but you'd better go check it out!
