A note from the Tenners, a bunch of writers whose middle-grade and YA novels debuted in 2010:

To celebrate the end of our debut year, The Tenners will be holding a special giveaway just for librarians. One public or school library will be selected to receive a set of 55 books by 2010 MG and YA debut authors.

How do you enter this massive giveaway? So easy. All you have to do is capture one of our books in the wild.* Take a photo of yourself, another librarian, a patron, or even an adorable library pet posing with one of our 2010 debut novels. Send it to us at 2010debuts@gmail.com from your institutional email address. Tell us your name, your library’s name and mailing address, and who’s in the picture.

Again, only librarians are eligible for this giveaway. Not a librarian? Encourage your friendly neighborhood librarian to enter! The contest will be open until February 15th and the lucky winning library will be chosen and announced on February 16th. Until then, we’ll be periodically posting your pictures.

The Tenners would like to thank you all SO VERY MUCH for your support this year. It’s been an amazing adventure and we’re looking forward to sharing more books with you in 2011 and beyond.
