Not exactly an event per se, but definitely a great opportunity . . . . .

If you're a thriller/mystery/suspense writer whose debut novel is being published in 2008, be sure to check out Killer Year 2008.

Killer Year began in 2007 as a group of debut thriller/suspense authors who banded together to help promote each other. In the end thirteen authors were involved. Efforts that they used in promotion included the Killer Year blog, Killer Year website, a chap book mailed to several hundred independent booksellers, organizing Killer Year panels at various conferences and bookseller events. They also sold an anthology which will be published by St. Martin's in 2008.

For their hard work, they've received major press coverage, radio interviews and feature articles as well as the support of ITW (International Thriller Writers).

I sent in my application. How about you?
