Celebrating Debutantes 2017: Kick-off!

Hi everyone! I'm back online after some months of rest. We are back with the third wave of Celebrating Debutantes.

But first, before we officially start, I would just like to mention that this is the biggest event we have tried to put up together so far. We have nearly 90 authors on board and counting. We are still accepting participants and are happy to welcome more debut authors. The annual event has become a search to find fresh reads. We are always on the look out for something new - something interesting. We have found that in a lot of the stories that we encountered while searching for debuts.

So please join me us in the event kick-off for #CelebratingDebutantes2017!

The Basics:

What is Celebrating Debutantes 2017? It's a blog event in which we would be featuring debut authors from NA, YA and MG that would have their books published in 2017. This feature was originally hosted by Michelle from The Escapist, however, she has left the blogosphere to focus on more important things in her life - work and ministry. So she passed on the crown to me.

What happens now? Maricar and I are going to host #CelebratingDebutantes2017 for three months nonstop. Yes, you read that right. Nonstop.

Who are hosting this event? Yours truly, from Fragments of Life + Maricar from Blackplume.

Duration of the event? June 1 to September 1, 2017
