DEBUT LIT is always on the lookout for new talent to include in our events. We focus on new authors with a first (or sometimes second) book out whose writing in any genre has literary merit.
Our events typically fall into these three types:
- Book release party: celebration of two new authors’ recent publications, preferably within a few weeks of the release dates
- New author showcase: several writers read original 2-page work on a shared theme; often as part of an existing literary festival
- Reading after party: a mingling event for touring authors following a bookstore reading
We find our resources are best used for authors who can benefit most from the extra help and that our success rate is highest in certain geographical areas.
Considerations:
- Quality of the writing
- Publication timing (about 3 months lead time for planning and promotion)
- Need for supplemental promotion
- Author’s availability in key cities: New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland and Vancouver
If you would like to recommend an author for us to work with, here’s what we’ll need to know:
1) Author name & book title
2) Publication date
3) Publisher
4) Excerpt
5) Author’s home city
6) Author’s book tour plans
7) Contact information
Include the above to rebekah@debutlit.com.
We look forward to hearing from you!
