Authors from that first year include (from the list on Greg Fishbone’s website): Class of 2k7 Alumni Class of 2k7 kicked things off when Greg Fishbone gathered a group of that year’s debut MG & YA authors together to help promote their books. They’re following in the footsteps of other classes before them. These authors have been working hard to promote their titles as a group. One of the first is to meet all the cool authors in the Class of 2k10. So I’ll soon be off to the Big Apple and have lots of plans while I’m there.
