Sign Up for the 2010 Debut Author Challenge

Wednesday, November 25, 2009 at 12:00 AM

ARE YOU READY TO TAKE ON THE 2010 DEBUT AUTHOR CHALLENGE?

If you'd like to participate in the 2010 Debut Author Challenge, please feel free to sign up using the Mister Linky below.

Please read and follow the directions!

If you are interested in learning more about the challenge itself you can check out the 2010 Debut Author Challenge Information post.

Before you sign the Mister Linky you will need to make a post that will contain the list of books you will be reading for the challenge. You do not have to have the list completed. You just need to have a post where the potential list will be posted. Please be sure to mention that others can sign up to participate in the challenge here. If you are listing your books in the sidebar of you blog, please do a post stating that you are participating in the challenge, and direct them to your sidebar to see the list of your books. If you do not put a direct link to your post, I will delete it.

Feel free to sign the Mister Linky with your name and blog name. For example, I would input Kristi (The Story Siren). Of if you prefer just input your blog name. If you are not a blogger, use your name only. In the URL section, please input http://www.thestorysiren.com (This way I know you are a participant that does not have a blog.)

So, when you sign the Mister Linky... you need to put your name, which can be your name, your blog name or both. And a DIRECT link to your challenge post. Do not put in your blog URL.

Thanks for participating in the challenge!

I have a blog but its specifically for a gluten free diet. So when I signed up I did not use that as my url because I won't be posting anything about this challenge on there.

I used the url from this site, which it said you could do. But where do I post a list of the books I'm going to read this year? If anyone can answer that for me I'd appreciate it!; April 20, 2010 2:53 PM
prissycrissy24 said...: I am really excited about this challenge! Its perfect for me! I can't wait to see what other people read and what they think about the books!

Just had a question and was wondering if anyone could answer it for me.

I'm a bit confused as to the rules. So I understand that only books published in 2010 count. I'm also assuming since its a YA debut author challenge only an authors FIRST Ya book, published in 2010 count! For instance, a meg cabot YA book published in 2010 doesn't count. As she already has several YA books out. Correct?; April 20, 2010 10:59 PM
prissycrissy24 said...: sorry I got confused when I was signing up. I accidently did it twice! lol Can you delete #326 please!

I was also wondering how the rules work. Obviously we can only count books that are published in 2010. And I'm assuming since its a YA DEBUT AUTHOR challenge, that means only YA books, written by a first time author , in the YA category anywyas, count. For instance, a meg cabot YA book released in 2010 would not count as meg cabot has many previous books in the ya category and she wouldn't be considered a debut author. Correct?; April 20, 2010 11:30 PM

@Bahnree.... Albatross is not a debut novel. Josie's first novel was Band Geek Love, published in 2008. Albatross is actually her third novel. Check the challenge information page to find links that have lists of debut novels!; July 31, 2010 10:33 PM
