Debut Author Challenge 2011

For as long as I've been blogging, I can recall admiring so many of the bloggers who participate in the Debut Author Challenge. It's something I've been wanting to do for a long time so I'm making 2011 the first year I join in on the fun.

If you haven't heard of the challenge before, it's a little thing run by The Story Siren which pushes readers to attempt first time authors in the young adult and middle grade genres. The best part is, every time you submit a review to the challenge you go into the draw for so many wonderful prizes.

If you'd like more info on the challenge, read up on it here.

What You Need To Know:

• Open to bloggers AND readers worldwide
• Runs from January 1st 2011 to December 31st 2011
