Hey!
Okay, so the Debut Author Challenge is a challenge originating on The Story Siren where you are challenged to read 12 Debut* Novels between the beginning of Jan and end of Dec. I found it a little hard to navigate and understand at first, but once you figure it out, you're set!
*Debut: a first public appearance (a new product).
Challenge Objective:
- To read and review a minimum of twelve Young Adult (YA) or Middle Grade (MG) debut novels between the dates Jan 1, 2012 - Jan 31, 2013* *The 2013 extension is so that December Debuts (books released in December) can be read and count toward the challenge.
- Any Advance Reader copies (copy of a book recieved before the release) you read before the 2012 start date do NOT count towards the challenge!
- You can read the 12 novels in one month or 12 months - it doesn't matter so long as you get through them all!
- You must have a blog to post your reviews or become a member of Goodreads. Youtube book-reviewers count too!
- Your blog / vlog (video blog) must be written / recorded in English.
- Deadline to join is May 31, 2012
- All books must a be Young Adult or Middle Grade title.
- It must be the authors debut in YA or MG (they cannot have previously had a YA / MG novel published) BUT the author can still qualify if previously published material is a Child or Adult title.
- The book must be released in 2012
Listopia has a list of 2012 Debut novels and a PDF list is available here** if you're unsure what qualifies as a debut!
