In Sept. 2014, Reading Recommendations began this new list of Authors and their books that are recommended by guest Authors. Alice Major was the first guest to recommend a recently published book by a new-to-me author, and she has prepared the blog post and answered my questions. I have since contacted other established authors I know personally (especially those who teach creative writing) to see if they also have noticed a new author whose work should be brought to the world’s attention. If you are an author who has already been featured on RR and you would like to recommend an up-and-comer whose book you’ve read and enjoyed (or an author whose work you feel has never received the attention – especially internationally – that you believe it deserves), please send me an email. I will ask you to complete the questionnaire and return it to me then will schedule this promotion for publication at a later date.
