After a successful first year of release parties with art, music, and readings celebrating Random House author Phil LaMarche, DEBUT LIT is lining up a new season of debut authors for 2008. Our primary interests are African writers and literature of the American West.

DEBUT LIT is a national nonprofit arts event series dedicated to helping new writers gain a wider audience.  Its mission is to combine the release of a new literary work with parties that merge art, music and readings. DEBUT LIT believes that new work deserves a new idea and literature can come alive in ways it never has before.

Contact us directly with Interest or recommendations for debut authors, sponsors, or partipating artists.
