The Class of 2k9

I'm happy to announce that The Class of 2k9 is now accepting applications for membership. Having been part of The Class of 2k8 until mid January, I'm excited to not idle out in the playground for long. The bell's ringing and any middle grade or young adult novelists debuting in 2009 are encouraged to apply. Please email theclassof2k9@hotmail.com for an application form.

Why become part of a marketing collective? Writing a book and getting it published is hard work. Getting it noticed in the big ocean of books, is just as hard. Together we'll learn, we'll grow and we'll make a bigger, more awesome splash. (Check out the class of 2k8, if you don't believe me.)

Besides, it's so much fun meeting other authors who come from all over North America and have the same goals, thrills and issues with that first debut novel.

Don't be shy. I promise, you won't regret it!
