I Belong to the Class of 2k7!
What's that you say, minions? Has Auntie Heather returned to school to experience the joys of rampant bullying and smelly lockers? Not at all (but I do sympathize if this is your plight--believe me, I do). But what I have done is become a part of something very special. It's called the Class of 2k7, a cooperative marketing campaign by first time middle-grade and young adult fiction authors with debut novels to be published in 2007.Plus, we're totally way cooler than the popular kids. After all, we write books.
Our cooperative cross-publisher marketing campaign will have a "Fresh New Voices of 2007" theme (and no, not "fresh" like "dope", even though...it is pretty dope, y'all). We'll have a joint website, blog, newsletter, brochure, and other online and printed elements. Plus! We'll try to coordinate signings and events together. Our joint blog will launch in July. (Eep! That's close!)
Fortunately for you (if you fit the criteria) there's still room at our lunch table. So if you're interested in getting a lot of coverage for your first time MG/YA book (not to mention getting to hang out with us), drop Greg Fishbone a line and tell him I sent ya.
As for me, I'm going to cut first period today and work on Ninth Grade Sucks.
EDIT: For some reason, my brain melted and I got Greg's address wrong yesterday. (Sorry, Greg!) But it's fixed now...and my melted brain is back in one piece.

Congrats on 2k7.
Maybe you'll let me carry your books sometime :)
Don't forget to tell me if you are going to signings/events in SoCal.
You'll be the first (well, second) to know, Ewoh ;)
