Guess Who’s In The Barnes and Noble Discover Great New Writers Program?

Can you guess?  Can you?

This morning I found out that The World’s Strongest Librarian was chosen by Barnes and Noble to be part of their Discover Great New Writers Program.  If you’ve ever been in a BN, the Discover books are generally right up front next to the bestselling non-fiction and fiction displays.  It is a prime spot, one which my slobbering self almost certainly does not deserve, but they voted me in, so I’m not going to argue.

Every quarter, there are about a dozen Discover books from debut authors.  Barnes and Noble promotes them heavily.  The whole thing is freaking me out a little bit, but is very exciting.  I’ve been smiling all morning.  I obviously don’t do it enough because my face aches.

Can’t wait to see what’s next. As always, thank you for your support!

Josh

Congratulations, Josh. Maybe you can do a reading at the B&N where you used to work. Karmic.
