Hi, Everyone!
I made you a little present 😊
I realize that, through some fluke or other, we haven’t had a Tuesday Debut for a couple weeks, and we won’t for the next couple because of the Valentiny Contest (have you written your entry yet??? It opens tomorrow!!!), so I thought I’d put together a little round-up of old posts in case
a) you might like to review some of the old ones!
and
b) it might be useful to you in looking for a particular type of publishing debut!
(I also updated the original list on the Tuesday Debut page to include publishing houses in case you’re researching who publishes what and you’d like to see some examples.)
Fun fact: Tuesday Debut began in August of 2018, and since then we have had 170 features! (So if you come across any mistakes in my updating, please let me know because my eyes were crossed and I had total brain fog by the time I was done 🤣 I’m pretty sure there is one link somewhere that is incorrect!)
The vast majority of the debuts have been fiction, so if that’s what you’re interested in, you can pretty much pick anything 😊
